Picture book or small novel? If you're doing picture book and text/word analysis, I would say the Piggybook by Anthony Browne (I think thats the title, it has piggy in the title though definitely) cos its really good for that kind of thing. Its also a good text for yr5/6 kids too for a better analysis. The pictures basically change with the storyline in a crazy and not so direct way so its a good analysis-y book.
"just an ordinary day" - rod clements? I think thats the author. it might be "just another ordinary day", but its something along those lines. I remember reading that, it was a cool cool book cos the pictures differed completely to whaat you expect to match up with the text.
hm, im outta ideas...hope they help, somewhat.
