Summary/Abstract: The interest of children and teenagers for reading seems to be diminishing these last years. It has become a real challenge for the libraries to make an attractive offer to their youngest readers, this implies offering books they are interested in, besides the ones that are compulsory reading at school. So, the focus should be on the books which they find attractive at a certain period in time. A very important aspect, when we talk about books for children, is the one regarding the illustrations of a book, because a child is very much influenced and drove to find a book interesting when it comes in an attractive presentation.
