chapter book

Divided children's novel

A chapter book is a children's book divided into chapters, typically for readers aged 6-10 who have moved beyond picture books but aren't ready for young adult fiction.

The chapters are short, the vocabulary controlled, and illustrations appear sparingly if at all: She's reading her first chapter book on her own.
