Sažetak
Picturebook is usually the first kind of book that a child encounters. Thus, it is important to explore the possibilities it offers to provide children with quality reading material that engages young readers in different ways to help them develop their literary competence. This thesis gives an overview of research on interactive aspects of picturebooks that affect the reader’s interpretation of a story engaging him/her on a physical or intellectual level. The first two chapters consider the fundamental concepts related to picturebooks, such as the relationship between words and pictures with the highlight on how emotions are conveyed through the visual discourse and in the process of transmediation. Since picturebooks are multimodal, one of the aspects involved in constructing meaning is their three-dimensionality. It is related to the physical contact with the picturebook as a three-dimensional object. The third chapter gives an overview of kinds of picturebooks interactive on a physical level. The great potential of engaging readers on an intellectual level is presented through examples of postmodern picturebooks and metafictive devices they employ. In conclusion, the focus is on the importance of interactive picturebooks in motivating children for reading and social interactions during the shared reading of picturebooks in the classroom.
