Real Books??

What is a real book? Well, it can be many things depending on who you ask. There isn't a set of guidelines hidden somewhere saying what makes a book. I believe that all books are real, it just depends on the audience. Different types of books are appealing to different types of people. Their are children's books that have lots of pictures and color which helps them, being at a young age, to learn and associate words with images. There are books for the older child and pre-teen group, which are simple in their format but lack graphics. So, as we grow and develop we gain experience reading both books with and without pictures. Therefore, as an adult, we are experienced in reading both so we can chose what we would like to pick up. Personally, I enjoy novels that go on for hundreds of pages but I occasionally like to just pick up something that is simple with graphics. There is nothing wrong with that at all. It only becomes questionable when one can only read book with pictures because this is all they know.
