I looked at the attached pictures you posted and i find it doesn't look professional 

with all due respect to the illustrator and text person but it looks tacky -

the background is not plain enough and the words don't really stand out i feel.

(1  ) normally for this method the text should be very little and the background as plain as possible like this -

as you can see the illustrations are small illustrations and the page blank

or like this -

http://www.amazon.com/Gallop-O-Gallop-Sandra-Alonzo/dp/0803729677/ref=pd_ybh_4

this has a combination of types but much of the page is left blank where there is a lot of text
