Jez Alborough's picture books for young children feature rhyming texts and exaggerated drawings of animal characters in humorous scenarios that teach simple lessons to preschoolers. Alborough usually includes silly or ridiculous incidents in his picture books, and critics note that his cartoon-like drawings emphasize the humorous intent of his words, with his use of color, in particular, garnering applause. While Alborough's plots are sometimes faulted as overly conventional, critics invariably find his illustrations apt, vibrant, and appealing to children.
杰茲•阿波羅的圖畫書作品，語言風(fēng)格風(fēng)趣、押韻，畫風(fēng)略顯夸張，情節(jié)往往出人意料，妙趣橫生。在幽默的故事中，潛移默化地讓孩子們學(xué)到了很多道理。在杰茲的圖畫書中，總是能看到引人發(fā)笑的小插曲，很多評(píng)論認(rèn)為他漫畫式的畫風(fēng)意在配合搞笑的語言，特別是他特有的色彩技巧，贏得了不少贊譽(yù)！盡管他突破傳統(tǒng)的風(fēng)格不止一次受到質(zhì)疑，但評(píng)論家們也不得不承認(rèn)，他那充滿活力的圖畫書贏得了孩子們的喜愛。
