Task 11

This extract shows that’s it’s from a children’s book, this is because of the bright colours and the large pictures that are easy to see, so easy for children to be able to read. The text is printed in the corner of the page in a small font, the reason it’s in a small font is so there is room for the pictures as, and the pictures are very eye-catching for the young reader. The text is written on top of the picture in the trees so it is easily seen.
