I was disappointed to find that there were no pictures in this article about picture books, just a few tables. This article doesn't ask whether picture books are still "the staple of children's literature" - that's just a given - but instead enquires into 'how exactly they are changing in contemporary iterations," and in particular, whether there is "evidence of Radical Change" (capitalized because there's a Reference). According to the authors, "findings such as a broadening of audience-age, with particular picture-book titles for older readers only, and invitations for multidimensional travel out of the texts at hand, are hugely provocative, adding to the implications originally suggested by Dresang's notion of new perspectives and changing boundaries."
