Förutfattade meningar och fördomar gör gällande att bilderboken som medium enbart riktar sig till yngre barn som inte kan läsa själva. I motsats till dessa fördomar utgår uppsatsen från att bilderböcker finns för alla ålderskategorier. Äldre barn antas emellertid hindras från att upptäcka åldersriktiga bilderböcker genom deras rumsliga placering i småbarnsanpassde utrymmen hos svenska folkbibliotePreconceptions assert that the picture book as a medium is solely meant for younger, pre-literate children.
