Children's literature or juvenile literature includes stories, books, magazines, and poems that are enjoyed children. Modern children's literature is classified in two different ways: genre or the intended age of the reader. Children's literature can be traced to stories and songs, part of a wider oral tradition, that adults shared with children before publishing existed. The development of early children's literature,before printing was invented, is difficult to trace.

Picture books.
A picture book combines visual and verbal narratives in a book format, most often aimed at young children. The images in picture use a range of media such as oil paints, acrylics, watercolor, and pencil, among others. Two of the earliest 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.
Fairy tales.
A fairy tales is a type of short story that typically features folkloric fantasy characters, such as dwarves, elves. fairies, giants, gnomes, goblins, mermaids, trolls, unicorns, or witches, and usually magic or enchantments. Fairy tales may be distinguished from other folk narratives such as legends (which generally involve belief in the veracity of the events described) and explicitly moral tales, including beast fables. The term is mainly used for stories with origins in European tradition and, at least in recent centuries, mostly relates to children's literature.
Aesop Fables.

Nursery Rhymes.
A nursery rhyme is a traditional poem or song for children in Britain and many others countries, but usage only dates from the late 18th /early 19th century. In North America the term Mother Goose Rhymes, introduced in the mid- 18th century, is still often used.
