In the first chapter of the diploma thesis, I defined the term picture book. I listed the types of picture books that differ from each other in terms of the creative process. I summarized the types of moving picture books and listed their characteristics and special features. I then described how they and its narrative are affected by the choice of font and determining the appearance of the cover and binding sheets. In this chapter, I also touched on the functionality of the picture book and how its role has a positive effect on children and people who want to connect with it. I also presented picture books that stand out mainly for their shape.
I devoted the second chapter to an interactive picture book. I presented an interactive picture book, its characteristics and differences compared to a classic one. I also highlighted the interactivity in them with the example of Montessori pedagogy. I concluded the chapter by presenting the interaction between word and image in a picture book.
In the third chapter, I paid attention to the definition of a didactic aid and the use of a picture book as that in the learning process. I explained how parents, teachers, or educators can use them to get children to talk about, for example, difficult topics, their traumatic experiences, and other possible problems they face in their home or school environment.
