What makes the 1st page a No:
Too much exposition (telling instead of showing)
Labeled for the wrong age group
Picture Book is dialogue heavy
Picture Book is list-y (tackling a list instead of an overall conflict)
Too much description in action scene slows down the pacing
What makes the 1st page a Yes:
Interesting opening line
Picture Book showing good imagination
Lots of action in opening scene
A Note on Titles: Choose a Title that doesn’t explain everything about the book.
