en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapter_book
It’s a kind of book for children who are learning to read, which unlike a picture book (or, to some extent, a comic book) consists primarily of text that the reader must read in order to get the story.

I thought the poster just didn’t know the words, but that’s an actual expression? Eugh.
What counts as “plentiful”? Would some highly illustrated versions of classical books become “chapter books”? Or does it need to be intended for 7-10 year olds.

I don’t know if there’s actually any publishing industry or library defintion of the word, but as I know it, it clearly indicates a book intended for children who are still learning to read.

The wiki link says 7-10 year olds. So perhaps? Or at least a loose definition by someone I guess.
