Why is the art realistic rather than the usual cartoon portrayals in children s books?
“When we are very young we do not need fairy tales: we need only tales. A child of seven is excited by being told that Tommy opened the door and saw a dragon.. But a child of three is excited by being told that Tommy opened the door.” We do not need images of monsters and dragons in children s books. What we need are real images from real life. When a child is young, he is trying to piece together his new world. We make this process easier by providing only true-to-life images from real life! Also, by using art that looks like reality, it means that when a child comes across one of the images from the books in real life, he can identify it easily. All of the art in Reading Master conforms to the Glen Doman specification of being precise, discrete and unambiguously labelled. Precise means that all images are drawn 100% accurately for easy identification and accurate learning; discrete means that none of the images in the FlashBooks have anything other than the object being referred to,
