From School Library Journal
The value of using picture books beyond the primary grades is becoming more widely recognized. This excellent resource, the third in a series, helps librarians find those titles that teachers can use effectively with older students. The descriptions of the illustrators' art styles and techniques are helpful to anyone involved in discussing or reviewing picture books. The 41 literary devices are arranged alphabetically, from "Alliteration" to "Understatement." The 120 books included were published almost entirely between 1995 and 2000. Each entry includes publication information, a brief annotation, examples from the text highlighting the literary devices, a description of the art style, and curriculum tie-ins. Appendixes group the books by author, title, art style, and curricular area.

Product Review
“As the title suggests, picture storybooks are useful vehicles to teach literary devices. While this book will certainly appeal to teachers, students may also find it useful to help them understand these more difficult literary concepts. This will be a good reference for your shelf.”–Gale-Reference Reviews
“A useful tool for teachers in language arts programs in kindergarten through twelfth grade and for professional collections in public libraries and school library media centers.”–VOYA
