The wordless picture book is described as one of typical literary work where the reader can create the meanings and can be the co-author. The quality picture book and illustration have the significant role in children’s development. The picture book satisfies children’s needs for safety, joint attention, feelings and at the same time it encourages the development of motoric and intellectual abilities. The role of adult readers in introducing reading to young readers has been emphasized.
The empirical part includes the children’s narrative feedbacks on the quality wordless picture book written by Damijan Stepančič Zgodba o sidru.
