This video discusses the different elements of the cover: the title, the illustration, the author, the illustrator, the publisher, the summary, the barcode. It is about acquiring vocabulary, but also about understanding the purpose of the cover and the information that appears on it. The cover protects the book, but also makes readers want to choose it. The illustration often provides information about the story and allows for assumptions to be made. The title is the largest size so it can be seen first. The author and illustrator are written in smaller letters, and sometimes the two merge. On the cover is also the name of the publisher, or publishing house. The publisher selects the authors, gives instructions and handles the publication.
