"The Complete Adventures of Curious George"

         We were focusing on picture books/children's books, so I decided to do a synthesis page on a children's book: "The Complete Adventures of Curious George," by Margret and H.A. Rey. In class, we received a worksheet that we used to observe picture books and their illustrations. I basically used that worksheet as a template for my synthesis page.
       
         I noticed a couple of things about the illustrations. I saw that the illustrator (probably H.A. Rey) used a lot of the same colors--mainly blue, red, and yellow. But sometimes he used different shades of them so it looks a bit different. I also noticed that the illustrations took up a lot of the space (the amount of space varies, but typically the illustrations take up like a whole page or so). Details are kind of vague/broad, in a way, but the pictures really capture exactly what's going on in the story, so I think that's good. How do the illustrator's choices deepen or add to the meaning of the story? Well, in a way, the illustrations make the story a bit more clear and you can easily see how a character feels and their reactions to different situations (mostly due to George's "curious" discoveries or "experiments" or simple mistakes) which is a good thing to notice. It can show you what type of person that character is.
