Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

           In  most  of  the  earliest  books  for  childre n,  illustrations  were  an  afterthought.  But  in  the Caldecott “toy books”,  which first appeared in 1878,  they  were almost as important as the lines of text,  and  occupied  far  more  space  in  the  book.  One  can  almost  read  the  story  from  the  dramatic action in the pictures.

               Since then, thousands of  successful picture books have been published in the United States and  around  the  world.  In  the  best,  the  words  and  illustrations  seem  to  complement  each  other perfectly. Often a single person, is responsible for both writing and illustrating the book. One of the greatest, and certainly one of the most successful, illustrator-authors was Dr. Seuss, whose real name was Theodor Geisel. His first children’s book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, hit the market  in 1937, and the world of children’s literature was changed forever. Seuss’s playful drawings were a perfect complement to his engaging stories and unforgettable characters. In 1957, Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat became the first book in Random House’s best -selling series, Beginner Books, written by Seuss and several other authors. These combine outrageous illustrations of people, creatures, and plants, and playful stories written in very simple language.

              Dr. Seuss is not the only well-known author-illustrator, of course. There is Max Sendak, who wrote and illustrated Where the Wild Things Are, the story of a little boy named Max, who becomes king of the fierce ( but funny) creatures that live in the  Land of the Wilds Things. Robert McCloskey produced  both  the  richly  textured  illustrations  and  delightful  story  of  a  family  of  ducks  living  in downtown Boston,  Make Ways for Ducklings. Some books are produced by a collaborative author artist team. Author  Margaret Wise Brown combined with illustrator Clement Hurd to produce two delightful books loved by very young children,  Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny. Another example  is the husband-and-wife team of writer Audrey Wood and illustrator Don Wood, who were responsible for King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub and The Napping House.

              Wordless and nearly wordless picture books have become popular. With a little help, threeand four-year-olds can follow the sequence of events, and they can understand the stories suggested in them. The marvel of books with few or no words is that they allow children and their parents the  opportunity  to tell  and  retell  the  same  stories  over  and  over  in  their  own  words.  One  of  the  most charming  examples  of  a  wordless  book  is  Jan  Omerod’sSunshine.  Barbara  Berger’s  Grandfather Twilight and David  Weisner’s Tuesday  are examples of books containing only a few words.

           U.S.  publishers  have  also  drawn  on  illustrators  from  other  countries  whose  original, imaginative works have brought their different visions to American children’s books. Among them are Leo Lionni from Italy, Feodor Rojankovsky from Russia, and Taro Yashimi from Japan.

The phrase “Another example” in the passage refers to an example of ________.
