A picture book that tells a story centered around pictures
David Shannon's picture book tells the story through pictures, not text. So even children who cannot read yet can fully understand the content. Also, the biggest feature of this book is that it looks at the world through David's eyes, so only the hands, feet, and torso of adults appear. Even though no adults appear, children and adults are interacting and talking to each other. In particular, the psychological distance felt by the child was well depicted by configuring the blank spaces differently depending on the moods of David and his mother. For example, when David appears to be having fun and causing trouble, David's face appears all over the screen, and when he gets scolded by his mother and gets punished, his body is expressed in an exaggeratedly small size. David's overall appearance, drawn with bold compositions and bright colors, immerses both readers and listeners.
