This study analyzed the parents\' image, which was shown in 4 books such as Piggybook, My Mum,
Gorilla, and My Dad. Those books are the best among Anthony Browne\'s picture books. First, the mother
and father in Piggybook showed the negative mother-and-father image pertaining to the passive, obedient,
authoritative, and negative attitude and practiced the unilateral care in the opening part. However, the
positive mother-and-father image was indicated in the latter half, which means the mother and the father
practice the affectionate, autonomous, and two-way care. Second, in My Mum and My Dad, the mother
and father always showed the positive mother-and-father looks. Third, in Gorilla, the father showed the
indifferent and negative image in the opening part but became the autonomous, affectionate, and positive
father in the latter half. Fourth, in all the books we researched, the mother and father, who have positive
parenting image, had heterosexual character and showed the common characteristic feeling such as
satisfaction and happiness due to being supported by their children and family. Accordingly, teachers
and parents will need to help their young children to establish positive parenting image by selecting
picture books that contains the positive parenting image.
