I am posting a new question because the previous one was answered as "Is the child able to read a book this long?" I really wanted to know "Is an adult willing to read this long?" From cursory research, 10 to 15 minutes of out loud reading time seems to be typical for children's books for the 6 to 8 year old range. As a point of reference, "Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel", a favorite from my childhood, takes about 11 minutes to read out loud. What is the longest that a typical adult would be willing to spend reading a book to their child? The reason that I ask is that I've written a book that takes about 25 minutes to read out loud and I am wondering if that makes it unmarketable. For what it's worth, I read the book to a class of ~8 year old children and was able to keep their attention.
