Ever pick up a book with no words? Wonder how you tell a story? It’s all in the pictures! Wordless picture books, like our The Dog in Shoes and Mischievous Mr. Battons, are pure magic.
They open up a world of imagination, so let’s see how they work.
How to read a picture book without words?
Think about a child holding The Dog in Shoes: The Quest for Pizza. One kid might see a dog hunting for pizza in Italy. Another might see a story about trying hard to reach a goal. It’s amazing! There’s no right or wrong. That’s what makes these books so special.
Let’s look inside The Dog in Shoes: The Quest for Pizza! Check this out:
What do you see? Maybe the dog is asking for pizza. The gondola driver is pointing the way.
Or maybe they’re having a funny chat. The dog’s Italian isn’t so good. The driver’s Venetian is even harder to understand!
It’s up to you to decide.
And now this:
Where’s he going? Is he excited for pizza? Or a little scared?

Anngri Arts’ Wordless Wonders:
We love wordless books at Anngri Arts. The Dog in Shoes: The Quest for Pizza! is a fun trip through Italy. It is a great example of telling a story without words.
From asking for directions to riding in a gondola, to zipping in a scooter or flying an air plane, to cooking the best Italian pizza, it’s full of possibilities. Kids can explore the details. They can create their own stories. It’s all up to them.
This is what one of our customer’s say:
This is a fun book. A mom and son developed the story by using alternating pages to tell the story. You can make up stories again and again!!!!! The pictures give a silly, yet educational, story to be told.
