No, it doesn't require a caption. That's the beauty of it. You wrap the header tags around the img tag, and put the text for the illustration in the TITLE attribute. You don't put any actual text inside the tags--no text shows up on the "page," only whatever description, caption, what-have-you that you want to show IN the TOC.

I make kids' books like this every day. No text on the page; all the text in the header tags to create a TOC. I use it for illustrations, imaged tables; I use it for authors who want something like "Chapter 1" in the actual TOC, but only want the number itself on the page, e.g., "1."

Please look again at the example I gave you, inside the code box. No text ON the page; only in the TOC.
