OUR BOOKSTORE '); document.write(''); document.write(''); document.write('' + txt + ''); document.write(''); // End > I just received a letter from a writer who said, "Alas, I find myself adrift in a sea of unexplained and/or contradictory publishing terms." It's true you can read three different books on writing and find three different definitions of "picture book." So, to make your life easier, here's what I hope is a definitive glossary of children's publishing genres: Picture books In its broadest definition, a picture book is a book in which the illustrations play a significant role in telling the story. Under this umbrella are several types of books: Baby Books For infants and young toddlers, these books are generally lullabies, nursery rhymes, fingerplays, or wordless books. The length and format varies with the content. Toddler books Very simple stories for ages 1-3 (under 300 words) familiar to a child's everyday life, or concept books (teaching colors, numbers, shapes, etc.) Books are short (12 pages is average) and the format can be board books (sturdy paper-over board construction), pop-ups, lift-the flaps or novelty books (books that make sounds, have different textures, etc.) See the "Max" series of board books by Rosemary Wells (Dial). Picture books Traditionally, picture books (also called "picture story books") are 32-page books for ages 4-8 (this age may vary slightly by publisher). Manuscripts are up to 1500 words, with 1000 words being the average length. Plots are simple (no sub- plots or complicated twists) with one main character who embodies the child's emotions, concerns and viewpoint. The illustrations (on every page or every other page) play as great a role as the text in telling the story. Occasionally a picture book will exceed 1500 words; this is usually geared toward the upper end of the age spectrum. Picture books cover a wide range of topics and styles. The list of Caldecott Medal winners, available from your library, is a good place to start your research. Nonfiction in the picture book format can go up to age 10, 48 pages in length, or up to about 2000 words of text.

This research changed the way educators and parents think about writing in two ways. First of all, we learned that, just as children learn about reading from the time they are born, they learn about writing from infancy. When they watch adults and older siblings around them use writing as a means of communicating every day, even babies learn the purpose of writing. Most become interested in making marks on paper at around 18 months, when they develop the necessary control over the small muscles in their hands. Secondly, we learned that reading and writing develop together and even reinforce one another. For instance, practicing "invented spelling," or writing words the way they sound, actually helps children in beginning reading. In this update, we present annotated writing samples by a child named Toby that help illustrate both the developmental nature of writing and the relationship between reading and writing. Toby's parents collected all of his writing from the time he was a baby. Taken from this portfolio of work, the writing samples in this album show how a typical child's writing develops from babyhood through third grade. The commentary beside each piece discusses not only how Toby is developing in writing, but also what specific understandings about literacy are reflected in his writing at different ages.
