Picture Books
While picture books are suitable for children of most ages, it is often the most enjoyed by children aged 3 to 6 years old. Unlike board books which tend to be less of a story but more of a guide to help babies and toddlers understand the world, picture books have a stronger emphasis on storytelling with a clear beginning, middle and end.
The combination of colourful and lively illustrations matched with simple text helps children within this age group pick up new vocabulary and sentence structures quickly due to the storytelling format. If you think it's time for your child to start on this new phase in their reading journey, we invite you to start exploring!
