RESUMO

Children literature is a result of oral tradition that came to a material constitution on the print media through text. When illustration got incorporated into text it firstly established a subordinated relationship with it. Children picturebooks tells stories and fiction is based on pictorial information - illustration. This fact questions why there is illustration in the picturebook and what is its relationship with the text. This research develops a parameter for the analysis of possible different ways the narrative is conducted in picturebooks, by image and text. In our study, the relationship between text and image in picturebooks is approached by many different ways and a typology of this relationship is created to help us understand it. When the picture acts in a narrative form it usually combines texts in a mutual signifying system which builds the visual and written storytelling. The children picturebook reading method is different from other types of illustrated editions. This investigation examines how illustration that belongs to space of the arts interacts with text that belongs to time arts, both within the narrative context. The study of this relationship seeks to better understand children s book production, mediation and reception processes, in order to contribute to expanding the knowledge in the design area.
