Early Childhood Education Journal Vol. 29, no. 3 (2002), p. 167-177Abstract: Wordless books - picture books that rely entirely on illustrations to tell a story - are an excellent resource for educators of young children. This article provides a research-based rationale for using wordless books, offers a developmental sequence for introducing children to stories told through pictures, suggests a general strategy and wide array of early literacy activities based on books without texts, and recommends ways of communicating with parents/families about the value of wordless books. Outstanding wordless books and examples of children's responses to this growing genre of children's literature are also included.
