Illustrations are a brilliant addition to the reading experience, bringing characters and settings to life, creating variety to engage reluctant readers and more simply bringing joy on to the page!
In our opinion, reading is reading, no matter how many pictures are in the book. What matters is keeping young readers glued to the page. Another brilliant way to keep readers loving books is to use series – familiar characters and storylines to come back to time and time again.
So, how about we combine these? Here is a list of our favourite illustrated collections for readers aged 9 and 10.
