In this new collection, an international roster of children's literature scholars contribute to the ongoing debate on the importance of picturebook research, focusing on aesthetic and cognitive aspects of picturebooks. The articles all focus on interdisciplinary approaches that integrate different disciplines such as literary studies, art history, linguistics, narratology, cognitive psychology, sociology, memory studies, and picture theory. Contributors include Sandra Beckett, Maria Nikolajeva, Carole Scott, and Nina Christensen, amongst others, and topics covered include the relationship between children's response, literacy, metaliterary awareness, the values of contemporary societies, as well as the artistic constructiveness of visual and written text and its implication in cognitive development. Moreover, several articles focus on the relationship between picture book research and narratology by investigating such topics as the role of frame-making and frame-breaking, twist endings in picture books, narrative constraints of wordless picture books, the influence of modernism on the development of new narrative strategies, and the mutual relationship between narrative perspectives used in different art forms.
