Read More Firouzmand* Shiraz University Abstract The purpose of this article is to propose a revision of the concept and application of ‘parody’ in picture books. Drawing upon the classical concept of parody as defined by Bakhtin, the researcher examines the possibility of parodying verbal texts by visual texts and vice versa. Also the role of parody in changing inherent power structure in children’s literature is explained. Applying the deductive qualitative content analysis and by using the same features in cinema, as proposed by Dan Harries, the researcher has analyzed the parodic features in Khosronejad’s I Am the Hungry Mouse/ And Will Swallow You Up. Then by considering Nodelman and Kooistra’s views towards ironic and parodic interactions of pictures and words in picture books and through inductive qualitative content analysis, the researcher has proposed a new reading for the picture book. In this study, parody has been addressed in 5 modes: 1. Parodic relationship of subverted verbal text and the original one; 2. Parodic relationship of subverted visual text and the original one; 3. Parodic interaction between verbal and visual narration in subverted text; 4. Parodic relationship of the verbal text of the picture book and the other stories in the collection: Story, Play, and Fun; 5. Parodic relationship of the visual text of the picture book and the illustrator’s other work in that collection. However, the researcher has focused on analytical rereading of the parodic interactions in a single story –without considering the intertextual dialogues of that particular story with hypertexts or other stories in Story, Play and Fun. The parodic interactions in this picture book has been categorised in 3 modes, each of which has its own features: 1. Parodic interaction between pictures and words; 2. Parodic interaction among pictures; 3. Parodic interaction among words. * MA in Children's and Young Adults’ Literature, atiyehfirouzmand@hotmail.com
