Picture Books

Picture Books feature large, beautiful images – most often illustrations but sometimes photos – with smaller amounts of texts. These books are the heart of the home library for your growing reader. The hardback versions are often expensive, but most of these books are available in more affordable paperback editions. Picture Books are best for kids starting at age 4 or 5, all the way to 104. For infants and toddlers look for a board book format of the book.
