These books tend to get more advanced and sophisticated. There is a whole range of children's picture books available, ranging from hand-drawn illustrations to bold, computerised graphics, yet most have the same features.
When compared to the baby books, these picture books are physically larger as the child's hands have grown and now have a more detailed visual language as the illustrator gains much more freedom. Illustrations become softer, with less contrasting colours and more complimentary colours that are often true to life. The character's involved in the story play a larger role and start to develop more personality, tackling morals and life lessons, and humour is often introduced.
There is much more text to engage the child in the narrative, sometimes in fun and quirky typography, which parents can read out loud or children can read to themselves.
Textures, pop-ups, flaps and more interactive elements feature (especially for younger audiences) to engage and excite.
