How older children read
From the age of ten many children read chapter books, and a picture book has to offer more to feel right. That is why the books for 10+ are written with richer language, more dialogue and a story with a clear build-up of suspense. The pictures still make the child the hero, and humour is given room. It is also the age at which the book can be a fun present for an adult: a colleague, a grandfather or a friend.
