This article explores the linguistic characteristics commonly found in children’s literature, emphasizing their role in cognitive and linguistic development among young readers. Employing qualitative content analysis, the research examines ten acclaimed children’s picture books, identifying how simplicity in vocabulary and sentence structure, repetition, rhythmic and rhyming patterns, and text-illustration integration enhance engagement and comprehension. Findings demonstrate that these features significantly support children’s language acquisition and cognitive growth, providing essential insights for educators and authors in creating effective and engaging children’s literature.
