Angles

Kress and Van Leeuwen classify the angle of images using cinematic terms, shot from above, shot from eye level and shot from below, to describe not only the way a scene or character is shown but also how the viewer is positioned.
Many picture book illustrators borrow from film techniques and playing around with angles to further position the viewer and create moods and emotions via their choices so that the viewer is seeing an image from a position that might seem unnatural. One example is the 'dutch tilt', an angle that shows the image as if the metaphoric camera is being held on the diagonal. In film making this technique is used to replicate the confused or dazed state of a character or situation and a similar effect can be achieved when it is used in illustrating.
The Watertower by Gary Crew and Steven Woolman is a mysterious tale that is illustrated using a variety of techniques not often seen in picture books. The tilted angle of several images compliments the written text to develop themes of confusion, mystery and the unknown. Here are two examples:

Have you noticed any other examples in the picture books you have read? How did the angle choice complement or add meaning to the written text?
