In response to your question from chapter 4 of Essentials, as a child my favorite book was Chica Chica Boom Boom by Bill Martin, Jr. and John Archambault. In addition to the catchy text, I think part of what made this book one of my favorites was the relatively simplistic illustrations that utilized bright, eye-catching colors that were visually appealing to me as a child. In my opinion, The Very Busy Spider is similar to Chica Chica Boom Boom in terms of illustrations. The Very Busy Spider utilizes a vast array of the color spectrum ranging from dark to light colors with a vivid orange and lime green for the spider. The illustrations are not overly detailed, so it does not distract the reader from the context of the story but rather

Seuss was still able to make reading fun and enjoyable to children. Along the lines of his illustrations, Theodor Geisel was among the first authors to put illustrations equal with text, enabling his readers to follow the action and the story simultaneously. True to his eccentric character and unique perspective, Seuss basically drew things as he saw them. Surprisingly, he had strict guidelines on how to write children's books. There was only one illustration per page and nothing could describe anything pictured. That way, children can work out the story from the illustrations. In addition, his characters are unique. Although his characters may seem simplistic, Seuss' illustrations are inimitable. Through his drawings, word selection, and rhythm, Seuss created subliminal messages for his readers.

Wells begins to draw using mechanical pencil after that is complete she draws over it in very light blue ink. Then she erases all the pencil lines and has a line image in blue. Wells uses a lot of watercolor especially in this book.

Not only does she put such effort in her drawings for this book, she also puts boarders around a good majority of her pages.

When I was little I didn’t know Dr. Seuss's books had a purpose and meant something. Now I know that Dr. Seuss’s books are more than just nonsense words and rhyming. Stories like Yertle the Turtle, The Sneetches, The Lorax, and many more. One story that shows Dr. Suess is more than nonsense words and rhyming is the Lorax.

Illustrations: The illustrations use a variety of colours, but always include blue and red. They are full page, realistically drawn and relatable for children. For example, there are children playing hockey on the outdoor rink, and in a driveway.

Seuss may have been successful in his later years and still have a day dedicated to his work, but he did not get so lucky when he first started writing. Dr. Seuss first book was And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street was published in 1937. The book was turn down 27 times by publishing companies. Before he knew it he came up with Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, making history for years to come.

In “What do Fish Have to do With Anything?” by Avi, Willie as an individual is curious.

The illustrations in The Cat in the Hat really show the story and even if this book was a wordless picture book then children could understand what is going on. I think that goes to show how much the illustrations really do enforce the text. On the very first page, Dr. Seuss establishes the setting with a picture of a house and one can assume that is where the story takes place (Seuss 1). Dr. Seuss uses a lot of visual elements such as lines to show movement and he only uses shades of blue and red to add color to his book. Something else that I found interesting was the fact that he used the seam in the book as a corner in the house. On the first page, you see the house with a window on its side but no door which would presumably be on the left side of the house where the stairs are. When you open to the second page, you see the children sitting at the window. On pages five and six you finally see the door appear on a separate page than the window. If you close the book slightly you can imagine this is a 3-D element to the book. I may be overthinking it but I think that if this was intentional then Dr. Seuss may have been smarter than people give him credit for.
