This week I
read a children’s picture book called Meg and Mog by Helen Nicoll and Jan
Pienkowski. Meg and Mog are a series of books, which are about a witch called
Meg and her cat called Mog. The book is about Meg planning going to a
spell-making Halloween party with all the other witches, however unfortunately
the spell does not go to plan and all the other witches turn into mice.
The illustration within the book is quite
simple, bold and uses deep colours, as they are designed specifically to appeal
to young children. The language used in ‘Meg and Mog’ is very simple, with only
having short sentences on each page. This allows the illustrations to play a
significant part in storytelling and creating meaning for the children.
