The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the appropriateness of the illustrations in the Persian textbook for the first grade of elementary school and identifying their strengths and weaknesses. The research method was qualitative with an evaluation approach, and the study population was all first-grade elementary teachers in Iran, as well as children’s book illustrators and educational psychology specialists. To do so, Zanjan,Kermanshah and Yazd provinces were selected through purposive sampling. The opinions of children’s book illustrators and educational psychology specialists were also used in evaluating the illustrations. Data collection was carried out through a researcher-made questionnaire, divided into teachers, educational psychology specialists and children’s book illustrators. The holistic method was used to analyze the qualitative data. The results showed that although the new Persian textbook has some innovations compared to the previous one, it has technical and educational problems, and it can be said that the most problematic category or element of the book is its illustrations
