There are many types of children's books such as novels, storybooks, poetry books, and comic books. Generally, children's books are divided by age as follows:

-0-3 years: often made of cloth with many colors and with sounds added (they are more like toys than books)

-2 years old: characterized by the large presence of pictures and few parts of text

-3-5 years: feature increasingly written and articulated stories

-ages 5-7: have an increasingly limited number of pictures
