Quentin Blake is responsible for making Roald Dahl’s books come to life. He has created all of the drawings for Roald Dahl’s books, with the exception of just one. Combined with Dahl’s words, Blake’s pictures have captured the hearts of countless children over the years. Illustrations in books play a significant role in literacy development.
Here’s how:
Capture attention
We all know that we aren’t supposed to judge a book by its cover, however, we are almost all guilty of it. Illustrations on the cover of books hook children's attention and get them reading.
Convey mood
Illustrations give the reader insight about the mood and tone of the story. Blake’s drawings beautifully mirror Dahl’s zany stories.
Make stories more understandable
Pictures may explain new vocabulary that the student is not yet familiar with.
Introduce art
Illustrations allow children to be introduced to different drawing styles and develop a love of art.
