9-11 Years
Bansi O'Hara and the Edges of Halloween by John Dougherty
Noah Barleywater Runs Away by John Boyne
Looking at the illustration for these books, they seem to be much more technical through the art style. Pictures tend to have more details and colour combinations, this is probably down to the author/illustrator wanting to combine the story with intense visuals that can fuel the young person mind and creative thinking.
3-6 Years
A Home for Bird by Philip Stead
Boy + Bot by Ame Dyckman
These ranges of books tend to have quite a lot of white negative space, probably to allow the child to take in the visuals as they are at a much younger age, with creating basic visuals the author endorses these visuals by telling a narrative of very few words. Combining pictures with words, the illustrator also tends to introduce the child to material aspects of the book, often putting in various textures that the child can interact with, plastic that crumples/wooly material that is soft etc.
Babies/Toddlers
Winnie The Pooh and Ten Busy Bees by A.A. Milne
What Do You Say? by Mandy Stanley
These ranges of books are often wordless and just feature letters of the alphabet singularly. The images are often very mesmerising and don't necessarily always make sense. The idea of wowing the baby/toddler through an experience of a visual journey. Pictures tend to be very basic lacking in any detail whatsoever.
