1. What is the difference between an easy reader and a picture book?

An “Easy Reader” is just as it sounds.  They are the books children start with to learn to read them themselves.  A book like Hop on Pop by Dr Seuss is considered an easy reader.

A picture book is different.  It is generally NOT intended for the children to read to themselves.  A book like Stellaluna (1993) by Jennell Cannon, is intended to be a shared experience where the book is read to the child and they follow along and look at the pictures as it is read to them.  A picture book will have much more complicated language than an easy reader.

Would your feelings about this book be different if there were no pictures? Why or why not?
