Children’s literature traces its beginnings to preliterate times, when ancient storytellers passed tales and legends from generation to generation in the oral tradition. WilliamCaxton, who establishedEngland’s first printing press, published books of etiquette, fables and legends. However, these didn’t {{U}}constitute{{/U}} a body of work that could be considered literature for children.Because children at that time were considered "miniature adults", books were didactic in nature. The content for young readers consisted mainly of religious instruction, rules of behavior, ethical messages, and moral platitudes. In 1774,Englishman John Newberry changed children’s publishing when he began to create books with attractive formats, quality illustrations, and {{U}}sturdy{{/U}} bindings, that were designed primarily for children to enjoy. The oldest, and most prestigious award given for children’s books published inAmerica, is the Newberry Medal.

In the 1800s color printing was introduced, and by the middle of the 19th century, the rough illustrations that {{U}}characterized{{/U}} earlier children’s books had been replaced by works of art that captured the word and some of the story.
