Abstract
The quality of language produced is greatly influenced by the quality of language
input. Reading is a major source of language and knowledge input. In Pakistan,
two types of books written in the English language are available for the reader.
The first type includes the books written and published in Pakistan and the second
type is of the books written by foreign authors published in or outside Pakistan.
The purpose of this study was to analyze 5 storybooks written and published in
Pakistan. The linguistic analysis and technical analysis of the books were carried
out to explore the kind of material which is being produced locally and is readily
available to Pakistani children. The focus of the study was on the English language
and technical components of the storybooks. The findings of the study reveal that the
storybooks contain several language-related problems and technical deficiencies in
story writing elements. Hence it is concluded that proofreading for language and
technical refinement for the storybooks can help improve the work quality.
