In selecting titles, Dr Cianciolo looked for books which will provide children with enjoyable, informative, and discriminating literary experiences, which will foster the habit of reading, and initiate an appreciation for and an understanding of the beautiful and the creative in the graphic arts.

The new edition also includes a new introductory essay on current trends in styles of writing and illustrating children's books, and criteria for evaluating them. "Picture Books for Children" provides a resource for librarians, teachers, day-care personnel, parents, and anyone looking for well-written and well-illustrated picture books that will be enjoyed by children of all ages and backgrounds.
