In this essay I will discuss if and how picture books break the rules of reader expectations‚ earlier children’s literature in the 19th century‚ expected behaviour of children‚ grammar‚ as well as typeface and images.

The way artists can look at a scene in many different lights is very similar to what Earle Birney did when he wrote "January Morning/Downtown Vancouver" and "Vancouver Lights". An artist can paint a picture of a given setting and then come back and paint a totally different painting of the same subject. The two poems share similarities but where the description of "January Morning/Downtown Vancouver" ends‚ the theme for "Vancouver Lights" begins. The two poems based on the same setting create entirely

Whether it is a kickoff‚ pass‚ run‚ or extra point inertia‚ force‚ acceleration‚ momentum‚ and impulse are involved. Newton’s first law is the law of inertia and it states a body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.
