Picture books are books that are more pictures than words. Some libraries call them "easy" books, but in my experience, some picture "easy" books have a very high reading level because of its higher-level vocabulary or the complexity of the storyline. Regardless of the reading level, picture books are always fun because of the illustrations. The artists responsible for the works of art in these books are called illustrators. They are very talented individuals who deserve the recognition that the Caldecott award provides.
