    Unlike books for advanced readers, chapter books contain plentiful illustrations.

    I thought the poster just didn’t know the words, but that’s an actual expression? Eugh.

    What counts as “plentiful”? Would some highly illustrated versions of classical books become “chapter books”? Or does it need to be intended for 7-10 year olds.

      Or does it need to be intended for 7-10 year olds.

      I don’t know if there’s actually any publishing industry or library defintion of the word, but as I know it, it clearly indicates a book intended for children who are still learning to read.

        The wiki link says 7-10 year olds. So perhaps? Or at least a loose definition by someone I guess.
