O livro de literatura infantil: por uma leitura da palavra e da imagem

Abstract

This work seeks to analyze the relationships that are established between text and illustration in children's literature, as well as the importance of the image to the text in the children's universe, ascertaining how the illustrations collaborate to the understanding of the verbal text. To this end, we conducted a theoretical survey on the subject and an analysis of the images present in the books A Casa Sonolenta (2009), by Audrey Wood, illustrated by Don Wood; Pinote, o Fracote, Janjão, o Fortão (1989), by Fernanda Lopes de Almeida, illustrated by Alcy Linares; and Lino (2010), written and illustrated by André Neves. For analysis, we are concerned with discussing how the relationship between images and text can be attractive for the formation of new readers through their multimodal resources. It is important to remember that to become a good reader, the child needs to engage and interact with the literary work, seeking meaning in what he is reading and understanding the text and how it relates to the world around him, building meanings for what was read. In the process of reader training, reading verbal and non-verbal are fundamental, in addition to the need for readers to develop multiple literacy skills. For this it is of paramount importance that the book has essential elements that please the eye and a text that enchants and stimulates the imagination of those who read it.
