What comprises children's literature has become a subject of hot debate amongst today's literary and pedagogical scholars. Put broadly, the umbrella term “children's literature” covers all the books that are written about children and are read by children. Many a time, the definition of children's literature is determined by the teachers, literary scholars from academic and pedagogical institutions, librarians and the various book awards committees.

Many standard authorities on the subject of children's books believe that books can, alternatively, be classified on the basis of some basic formats namely, picture books, illustrated books, lesson books, easy to read books and graphic novels.

Most children's books are written specially for children readership, including the world famous timeless classic novel: “Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” Conversely, many works originally composed for children are being read and enjoyed by teenage and elders. For instance, many works of prolific writers like R.K.Narayan, Ruskin Bond, Mark Haddon and Phillip Pullman though originally meant for children are equally enjoyed by the elders. These works include R.K Narayan's “Swami and Friends”, Ruskin Bond's “The Blue Umbrella”, Mark Haddon's “The curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time” and Phillip Pullman's “The Amber Spyglass".

Recently, J.K Rowling's sensational books forming the Harry Potter series have received considerable recognition from all parts of the world. The Harry Potter books have been widely appreciated for sparking an interest in reading amongst children at a time when children were thought to be giving up books for the pleasure of watching television playing computer and video games.

A number of online book portals have come up which provide a number of children's books. These online book portals have scores of children's books for pre-school and school-going children. These stores provide relevant information on the childrens books. Parents and teachers will find them immensely helpful as they give a chance to the children to select books. The buyer(s) can select books that they find appropriate for a particular age bracket. Such initiatives will go a long way in a child's early formative years by helping him gain a grasp over some basic yet important concepts in a fun-filled way. The launching of book clubs and book councils is another innovative step as it inculcates reading habit amongst children. Children can find books on almost every subject under the sun in these book clubs and book councils.
