How age ranges usually work
- Ages 0–3: board books, very short, simple repetition.
- Ages 3–5: picture books with simple sentences and warm rhythm.
- Ages 4–8: the picture book sweet spot — emotion, humour, layered art.
- Ages 6–10: longer picture books and early readers.
Final age fit depends on subject, tone, and illustration style as much as text.
