| Summary: | Pointing behavior in childhood is typical developmental sign having strong correlation to his or her language development. This paper focuses on the pointing behavior accompanied by utterance during picture book reading. With this respect, we make use of picture books’ review data amounting to approximately 330 thousand, and analyze the reviews reflecting the pointing behavior with children’s utterance.
