The discussion on type face selection has been interesting. So, while we are on the way a picture book looks, let me touch on a slightly different topic. I have a friend who's child is legally blind. Some picture books are very clever - busy with many things to see. Some are easy to decifer but other are not. When the pictures are set over the illustration, the child with vision problems may have great difficulty picking out the text. I know, these children are few and far between, but they are out there and trying to read.
