Animals in picture books: Discuss the role that animals play in The Three Pigs-David Wiesner, and The Jolly Postman-Janet and Allan Ahlberg . In your answer you should engage with both verbal and visual elements of the books
Must refer to the way the animals are drawn, as well as what they say and how they act in the text.
When you discuss the role of animals, some aspects to consider are:
* Whether they are like people in their presentation (anthropomorphic) or like actual animals. Do they wear clothes, talk, live in houses, and generally act like people. If so, what function does this have in the text?
�Are they stylised presentations of animals, or realistic. Would you recognise them as being a chicken, for example, if you were not encultured to �see� the creature as a chicken by familiarity with such conventions?
�Do the animals represent the child reader in their actions? Do they act like children?
�Are they more like pets in their presentation, and so the child identifies with the main character who interacts with them � like finding a lost pet, for example?
�Are the animals hybrids of human and animal, and what does this signify?
�Do the animals dominate the text by being the main character, and if so, how are they arranged on the page? Are they always the central figure?
�How are they drawn � as a symbolic animal, or as highly individual? Do they represent all of those types of animals?
�Consider the colours used to depict the animal � are they realistic? Do you normally see animals of this colour and shape, and how does this affect the way the reader perceives them? Are they cartoon-like or more like animals from a documentary?
�Why would the writer/illustrator use an animal character rather than a human � child or adult? What effect does this have? Does it teach the child to respect all forms of life, or are they so cartoonish that this is has a literary effect only?
�Does the use of an animal create an allegorical message? If so, what is the allegory?
