Abstract
The pictures books are made of a large number of coherent, colorful drawings and relatively few, simple and easy-to-learn texts to present the story and convey it to the reader. However, as a novel teaching material introduced in China, the efficiency of its use cannot be effectively guaranteed. This survey, considering the domestic status quo of English teaching, carries on the regional study of English picture books to provide some suggestions for improving the efficiency of its use in the English classroom in primary schools. The experiment takes the third-grade students and their parents, and English teachers at a primary school in western China as the subjects.
