Description
This research takes a cross-disciplinary approach to examining the mind-modelling representations in picture books for children. Working with Theory of Mind research, the thesis develops a novel model and typology to systematically analyse the mind-reading processes of characters and their constructions in the sample texts. The in-depth analyses of the words and images in nineteen picture books from Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa and Taiwan offer insight into understanding characters' emotional and psychological states. This thesis contributes new knowledge on mind-modelling in picture books and offers guidelines for further research into classroom applications.
