Abstract
AbstractI present a sampling of picture books with a focus on three peritextual features in particular: dust jackets, case covers that are different from the dust jackets, and endpapers. First, I briefly highlight scholarship related to peritextual features, followed by a description of four picture books with these three peritextual features, and explanations about how these features can support meaning making in regard to literary elements such as characterization, theme, plot, and setting. I conclude with the need to focus greater attention on peritextual features in picture books.
