The sentences in the front pictures do not have punctuation.

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Please note my corrections to your post above. One "please" in a sentence is enough. One "thank you" is enough.

Like some other users, I'm not prepared to open attachments from someone I don't know. I'm happy to look at the contents of your children's book (a paragraph at a time) but you'll have to type the text manually into a post here.

Say:

Daddy! I found a turtle.

There is no reason to put everything in all caps. Plus the background needs to be light enough so that the text is readable. (Note the punctuation.)

Say:

Should I release it into the river?

That illustration needs to be simplified. Focus on one tortoise at a time.

Back to bed for me!

More natural would be:

Daddy, can I keep it?

Do five-year-olds know words like "release"? (I don't know.)

Shuold be "put it into the river" instead of "release it into the river"?

"Release" is a better word (the opposite) to use with an animal which is caught.
Is the book for five-year-olds learning English as a second language? I doubt so.

No, not necessarily. I was just wondering what age group it's targeted to.

I could be wrong, but the pictures in the illustrations seem to indicate the age group the book is geared for.

You don't have to say over and over that you are not very good at English.

Try:

Hold on! We need to take a look at it first.

Note that the shorter sentences (one or two letters) are more likely to get an exclamation mark.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say there.:-?

But only 5 images per post.

How about one per post?
