It is now agreed that a children's book must be a work of art. It should coexist, intersecting in a balanced and harmonious way, the verbal text and the iconic text, both holding aesthetic qualities that expand the imaginative and hermeneutical capacity of the (pre) reader and that stimulate their artistic sensitivity as early as possible. In reality, the aesthetic-literary formation of the child reader will inevitably depend on the quality of the text and the illustrations that illuminate and complement it, but, above all, on the deep internal cohesion that the inter-semiotic dialogue enhances. Thus, and based on the comparative analysis between two picturebooks - Elmer, by David Mckee, and The Different Elephant, by Manuela Castro Neves. This article aims to demonstrate that, in children's books, the dialogical relationship and the intersemiotic fusion between the verbal and iconic languages enhances the establishment of a poetic atmosphere of true meaningful pregnancies that is essential in the aesthetic-literary formation of the child reader.
