Book Review (1) Gail B. Stewart (2) Victorian England (3) 96 Pages (4) “Victorian England” is a book informing the reader on how Victoria became the queen of Great Britain on June 20, 1837 following the death of her uncle, King William IV. She was only eighteen years old. Nobody suspected her to ever become Queen because her grandfather, King George III had fifteen children in which had all died by this time. The idea of a teenage girl ruling one of the most powerful nations startled everybody in Britain, but she seemed to have great confidence in her age and in her ability to take on most all of the nation’s difficult problems.

Instead she won the hearts of Britain with her modesty, grace, straightforwardness, and her want to be informed on the political matters at hand even though she had no input. She changed Britain into a flourishing country. She also impacted how women interacted
The pictures in the book enhanced my appreciation for the book because it gave me a detailed description of certain parts. For example, it was very exciting to see how much the monster destroyed Conor’s grandma’s house, but it was very sad to see how Conor dropped his mother into a hole even if it was a nightmare. The pictures were very different compared to more modern day art because it was all black and white.

Picture books are a big part of a child’s life. They make the reading experience fun and a time to look forward too. They help children explore the world with their imagination and connect with characters and events. They also provide joy and comfort. Picture books show their meaning in a very unique way. They use verbal and visual text to relate to the world. Both verbal and visual text work together in synchrony to narrate the story. Meaning represented in this way invites the reader to attend to both in order to make sense of the story. Revisiting and old picture book is like revisiting an old friend.
