I have 2 stories
I've written 2 childrens picture book stories. They are very short, and I was wondering if they are too short. I noticed in my kids easy to read books theres about 2 sentences on each page with big bright pictures. The stories I wrote both are the same as far as the two sentences per page. Is this TOO short?

It depends on how many total pages you have. Children's books do have significantly less text than their YA and Adult counterparts (chiefly because of the big, colorful pictures) but if you've only got ten pages then that is too short.

There's no such thing as "too short". Some of my favorite children's books are like four complete sentences total. Obviously illustrations are very important to get the idea across.
