Almost all children's books have pictures. It's a key part of what makes them appealing to young readers. Pictures help children:
* Understand the story: Pictures can show what's happening, especially if the words are complex.
* Enjoy the book: Beautiful pictures make reading more fun!
* Learn new things: Pictures can introduce new vocabulary or concepts.
* Engage with the story: Pictures can make children want to turn the page and see what happens next.
There are some exceptions:
* Very young children's books sometimes only have a few simple pictures, or none at all.
* Some older children's books might have fewer pictures or just illustrations on the title page.
But in general, pictures are an essential part of the magic of children's books.
