The annotated bibliography3 
Ginsburg, H., & Opper, S. (1988). Piagrt's theory of intellectual development. New York: Library of congress cataloging-in-
publication data. 
This book is a collection of Piaget's work in human intellectual development. The two writers divide the book into six 
chapters. The first one is an introduction to the topic which they call "Biography and basic ideas.'' The chapters from two to 
five talk about the human intellectual development in different stages. The last chapter is about learning, development and 
education. There is no doubt that children's view of pictures is different from adults because of their cognitive and intellectual 
development. Thus, my research will point out at the association between the child's intellectual development and his view 
of illustration. 
The authors argue that Piaget's ideas are discussed in many different circles, such as, psychological, educational, 
philosophical, and psychiatric circle. They believe that with the popularity of Piaget, he remains a difficult author, especially 
for an English-speaking reader. The book "is not concerned with lengthy discussion or criticism, but provides a concise 
description and clear analysis of Piaget's thought and work." (1988, p4) 
The book is useful for my research since the research will talk about the intellectual development in the childhood. I am 
really interested in chapter three which shows the Piaget's later work in the field. Furthermore, this chapter will help a lot 
answering my questions in this area, for instance, what is the relationship between visual image and children cognitive 
development? What does Piaget theory says about the child cognitive development and pictures? What does a picture mean 
to a child? How important are pictures for children? 
All in all, this book helps a lot covering a significant part of my research.
