The illustrations take a large amount of extra effort and time compared to plain text, and they are also trying to cater to the short attention-spans of most children. That said, at around ten minutes these are on the mid to long side of the range. Many picture books take less than five minutes to read.

In any case, they're just about right as a bedtime story, so call me satisfied.(less)
