Children's Book
What is children's illustration?
Children's illustrations, not drawn by children, but by illustrators. It is for children and is mostly used in children's magazines or books to tell stories to children through drawings more than words, and some well-drawn children's illustrations are also enjoyed by adults.
Children's illustration is a world full of whimsy and creativity, where everyone can use their own colorful pens to give full play to their unique imagination.

Board books are picture books printed on sturdy cardboard called paperboard, for young children who tend to be less careful with books. Paperboard is used for both the cover and the interior pages. The pages are specially folded and bound together.
Soft books, also aimed at very young children,
are made of cloth or soft plastic.
Pop-up books employ paper engineering to make parts of the page pop up or stand up when pages are opened. The Wheels on the Bus, by Paul O. Zelinsky, is an example of a best-selling pop-up book.
Touch and feel books included textured surfaces in the pictures.
Pat the Bunny, by Dorothy Kunhardt, is a popular touch and feel book.
Concept books teach children about specific themes such as the alphabet or shapes.
A famous example is “A is for Apple” by Georgie Birkett.
Easy reader books are for children who are beginning to learn
how to read and include simple text and descriptive illustrations
Non-fiction children's books are used to
teach children in a simple and accessible way.
