This is a website all about Dr. Seuss that is rendered toward children. The entire website is representative of the way the images in his books look. It contains a place to play interactive games based on Dr. Seuss classics, a biography, a place to purchase books and upcoming events involving Dr. Seuss and events promoting reading. When navigating around, in between each page there is a page that comes up while the next one is loading that has a random quote from a Dr. Seuss classic. The visuals, text and layout of this website all come together to look like a page from a Dr. Seuss book. 

Rhetorically, an image can display a thought, but in my opinion, a word can make that thought more specific. As far as choosing a medium that is appropriate, I think the best thing to do is to consider the audience. Obviously, when the audience consists of children, like the case of Dr. Seuss, images are a must to help the reader understand and grasp the ideas being presented. I can't think of a situation that a visual would hinder the author's purpose or detract from the text. If the visual is presently correctly, it should, if anything, further emphasize what is presented in the text.
