    Abstract: Informational picture books are a popular children’s book genre that intend to convey information and concepts through images and expository texts by using form and structure to connect with readers. Most people would not disagree that informational picture books need to convey knowledge creatively, and thus, have artistic qualities. The problem is that while people attach great importance to their explanatory function, they may ignore the artistry of their form and structure and apply the criteria of story texts to informational texts, underestimating the unique reading appeal they can afford. These criteria are an inappropriate framework. This article hopes to provide another perspective for understanding informational picture books. It can be used to break away from a dependence on stories and instead recognise that the organisation of information is an art in itself. This paper argues that the narrative rhythm is an operation worth exploring and offers readers a greater fundamental reading experience than storytelling. It can provide us with a novel and appropriate method to appreciate the narrative characteristics of the informational picture book. This paper uses A Seed is Sleepy (Aston and Long, 2014, 28 pages)—an informational picture book in life sciences—as a case study and explores its narrative structure and narrative rhythm. Visual structure and image-text relationships are particularly emphasised and examined. It is revealed that the rhythm induced by the contrast and affinity of the visual structure and image-text modes are a fundamental part of narrative structure, demonstrating that an engaging informational picture book can utilise different rhythm varieties, which blend in with the narrative structure to create a work that is interlinked in content, form, and structure.
