This paper delves into the multifaceted role of picture book reading in early education. By exploring the theoretical foundations, educational benefits, and practical applications of picture book - based instruction, it aims to highlight the significance of integrating picture books into early childhood curricula. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, case studies, and analysis of teaching strategies, this research demonstrates how picture books can enhance children's language acquisition, cognitive development, emotional intelligence, and cultural understanding. The findings suggest that picture book reading is not only an enjoyable activity but also a powerful educational tool that can contribute to the holistic development of young children.
