Abstract
There are very few studies on the impact of
books and picture books on children under the
age of 3 years. Picture books and stories have
a great influence on young minds in terms of
developing a sense of literacy and a love for
reading. Emergent Literacy looks at how we
know what very young children between the ages of 10 months and 3 years learn by looking
at pictures in a picture book with someone or
by listening to a story from a children’s book?
What are the mental prerequisites that enable
such learning processes? These are also the
main questions in the emergent literacy research
today. The chapters in this book are revised
versions of papers presented at an international
conference held at the Picture book museum
Burg Wissem in Troisdorf near Cologne,
Germany in March 2009.
