Oh, oh, I hadn't thought of that. I have a friend who's an (elementary level) ESL teacher, I'll ask her if she's heard of this!
At first I had a hard time slowing down enough to study the pictures because I'm (we're) so conditioned to glance over images and go for the text. I kept having to go back and examine pictures again for details that were necessary to understand later images. About 10 pages in, I remember realizing that this was going to need a couple of hours to absorb properly, so I made myself some tea and calmed down and settled in to enjoy it. And it was a fabulous two hours. :)
