The images are a lot more focused on 
Size of the text isn’t as significant as the illustrations 
Story in a story
The use of additional materials engages the children into the book

Very visual and kinetic 
3 dimensional 
Pull outs – physically get to use and be apart of the book
With the text pop ups are used – and also simple illustrations 
Fairy tale typography 

• Do you consider this an appropriate way to present the content 

Yes, plays on the whole mystical and surprise effect
The child becomes part of the story 
Could improve by having more pages 
The front cover isn’t a good representation of the content – but it gives the element of surprise when the child opens it
