Is A is for Amber a Spinoff Babies of the Amber Brown series by Paula Danziger?

What about Megan McCafferty's middle-grade series Jessica Darling's IT List, a prequel to her Jessica Darling series for teens?
In general, is there or should there be a trope about spin-offs for younger or older audiences?
Edited to add: now there are articles for both Amber Brown and Jessica Darling.

"They tried taking this tangent with Strawberry Shortcake a few times, most notably in with the 2003 series by way of the launch of the Strawberry Shortcake Baby line, featuring baby Strawberry Shortcake, kitten Custard, a younger puppy Pupcake and an unnamed teddy bear being prominently displayed on products meant for infants and toddlers."
The baby toy line is a revival from farther back. One of my presents in early 1980s was a Baby Strawberry Shortcake, while my sister got Baby Blueberry Muffin. (Around 1983, based on my Dad's deployment.)
"Elf Quest included some self-parody strips featuring the regular characters drawn in the style of Tiny Toon Adventures."
This is NOT an example. The characters are still adults, just cartoonishly drawn in goofy stories (There were at least two). I think it should be pulled. Any thoughts or objections?

- Only Fools And Horses recently got the Spinoff Babies treatment, Rock And Chips, starring Jay from The Inbetweeners as a teenage Del Boy, and Nicholas Lyndhurst as Rodney's (real) dad.
It's not a Spinoff Babies, it's a straight-up Prequel, and actually more of an inverted Spin-Offspring (the focus is on Joan Trotter and Freddy the Frog, not teenage Del).
