Today Kathy Henn-Reinke and I begin research by implementing a Teacher Book Club focusing on picture books. It will be a short term club (October to March) where a small group of interested teachers spend a few hours each month talking about children's picture books. We plan to learn more about teachers' ideas about picture books and determine ways of implementing teacher book clubs related to children's literature as a form of professional development. Tonight I plan to provide some background on the visual elements of picture books and design, using my favorite visual book, The House Cat, by Helen Cooper.
