We have been working on drawing in art class and I always think of Mercer Mayer's books as great examples to look at for inspiration. Mercer Mayer's Frog books are wonderfully illustrated books that show texture in the imagery through different drawing techniques. These books tell a story through pictures rather than words. This makes them perfect to look through with a beginning reader to build confidence to tell a story by observing what is happening in the illustrations. And, to teach children how to tell a story through their own illustrations!
I've included links below to some of the other titles-
Frog on His Own
Frog Goes to Dinner
One Frog to Many
A Boy, a Dog, and a Frog
A Boy, a Dog, a Frog and a Friend
