[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess these books must interest kids with older siblings. [b]That's all I can figure out.[/b]  DS would never be overly engrossed in these pre-teen books.  DS, age 6, is at the top of his class for reading in one of the highly respected elementary schools in VA and mostly reads picture books.[/quote]

Different kids have different interests. There's nothing to figure out. It's not a competition. It doesn't indicate anything about a kid if he is NOT interested in YA books or chapter books. Lots of gifted kids  and very bright kids don't read early and don't read above their age level.

My first kid is bright and was an early reader, but he didn't read any fiction, except picture books, for a long, long time. He didn't even read fiction at his age/grade level. He just wasn't interested.

His brother loves fiction, though, and read a lot of it early and read advanced books for his age.

Different kids, different interests. One isn't smarter than the other.
