Picture book
A picture book combines visual and verbal narratives in a book format, most often aimed at young children. The images in picture books use a range of media such as oil paints, acrylics, watercolor and pencil.Two of the earliest books with something like the format picture books still retain now were Heinrich Hoffmann's ''Struwwelpeter'' from 1845 and Beatrix Potter's ''The Tale of Peter Rabbit'' from 1902. Some of the best-known picture books are Robert McCloskey's ''Make Way for Ducklings'', Dr. Seuss' ''The Cat In The Hat'', and Maurice Sendak's ''Where the Wild Things Are''.

From the mid-1960s several children's literature awards include a category for picture books.WEITERE INFORMATIONEN
