In a lot of children's stories the sentences end with phonics which can be stretched out. In Tony Ross' 'I Want a Cat' (which is aimed at young readers), the sentence ends with 'so'. This allows the reader to elongate the sound so they can focus on starting the next sentence while continuing to read fluently. Children struggle to multitask when reading, so providing them with this elastic phoneme at the end of a sentence works similarly to a full stop.
