    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the literary style of children's books illustrator and author Paul Galdone and his published children's books. Galdone has published almost 300 books during his long career, many of which he wrote or retold himself. His stories are known for their simple, straightforward texts, the use of clever word patterns and repetition, and brightly colored double-page spreads featuring oversize, often humorous figures like "Henny Penny," "The Little Red Hen" and "Puss in Boots."
