TD, enjoy your visit to the library! He will probably keep reading picture books for a while even alongside harder stuff, and it's completely appropriate for him to do so. There are a lot of age-appropriate concepts and information about the way the world works in picture books that is not necessarily spelt out in novels.
That's totally dumb. In our reading challenge (SA) you're allowed to read up, and if a particular child is reading at a different developmental level (down) they are allowed (with approval from their teacher) to read from lower booklists too. My DD slowed herself down by selecting books above her reading age and I had to redirect her to some easier books just so she'd get the challenge finished on time.Be wary with the premiers challenge my GF had LOTS of issues with it because her daughter is gifted and they won't let her enter in the older section but she will not ready the younger children's books for her age group.
