Session Task

Book 1

Book - The Wonderful Wizard Of OZ, Robert Sabuda & Matthew Reinhart.

Book Format – Visual, Loads of pop ups, small text wither used but children from 9+ or as a read out, using other added feature like die cut glasses, shiny pages.

Relation to information – Visual, as the pop ups are quite big and gets you to focus on that and takes up most of the page.

Senses – Touch and Sight

Personally the book is very colourful and has way to many pop ups than needed it also has a number of different sized pages which don’t help when reading the reading pages also have pop ups which distract you attention from reading and make it hard to read
