Authors like Enid Blyton, Jacqueline Wilson, Hans Christian Anderson, Lewis Carroll and J.K. Rowling and others have huge contribution in producing some magnificent creation.

There are several books that were originally written for adults but are now commonly known as Children's Books. Both fiction and non-fiction Children's Books contain beautifully colored illustrations and pictures . Publishing a Children's Book requires a lot of investment because the printing cost of these colored illustrations is much higher than normal printing.
