Look! A Book! written by Libby
Gleeson is a children’s literature picture book with hardly any text. The
reader is given multiple perspectives to interpret this book from the
illustrations. With each turn of the page is another vivid illustration
capturing the moment the two characters are imagining. 
The exposition/orientation is interpreted
by the reader from the illustrations. The field is set within an unprivileged society,
which are based upon stereotypes. The two characters within the book (unnamed)
find a book on the ground. From this book the character’s imaginations
transform their reality.
Since, there is minimal text the
reader much interpret the complications and climax of the narrative through the
illustrations. As the scenes become a magical journey it teaches younger
readers about the magic of imagination that can come from reading a book.
