Using one made-up picture book, Pim's Kite, the video names its parts one at a time: the cover, the title, the author who writes the words and the illustrator who makes the pictures, with a coloured label and arrow for each. The book then opens to show the pages, links the words on one page to the author and the picture on the other to the illustrator, and ends with a recap of all five parts.
