I've definitely read some books where I loved the story but I thought it wasn't told from the best viewpoint, or in the most exciting way... So I think maybe it's 40% story, 10% text, and 50% pictures for picturebooks. And yes, those statistics are straight out of my Brain, too. In a novel, I'd go for 50% story and 50% text... how much of that is character, I'm not sure... hmmm... who knew math would come in so useful?
