We call them Early Chapter Books. On Wed, Apr 21, 2021 at 11:59 AM Michael Stohrer via Michlib-l < michlib-l@mcls.org> wrote:
Hello!
I have a terminology question I'm sure someone here can answer: I work in the youth department of my library, and we have many patrons who ask for books that are on "the easy side of chapter books." To meet this need, we'd like to highlight books for readers who are transitioning from the levelled readers section to the general J FIC books. These books would be identified with a sticker on the spine.
The characteristics of these books may include...
-
frequent illustrations -
between 75 and 135 pages -
larger-than-usual typeface -
accessible subject-matter
Examples include...
-
The Adventures of Caveboy - Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen and Eric Wright -
The Chicken Squad - Doreen Cronin and Kevin Cornell -
Princess Pistachio - Marie-Louise Gay -
Mokie & Bik - Wendy Orr and Jonathan Bean -
The Dragon Masters series - Tracey West and Damien Jones
We can't seem to pin down an ideal term for this category, and we would appreciate any suggestions!
Thank you!
