children's book
A book that is written and illustrated specifically for children in terms of content, language, and design. The range extends from picture books for toddlers to novels for older children.

For her birthday, she received a beautiful children's book with lots of pictures.
The word is a compound made up of 'die Kinder' (the plural of 'das Kind' — child) and 'das Buch' (book). So it is quite literally a book for children.
Im Regal stehen viele alte Kinderbücher aus meiner eigenen Kindheit.
There are many old children's books from my own childhood on the shelf.
A very typical verb in connection with 'Kinderbuch' (children's book) is 'vorlesen' (to read aloud). Adults often read to children from a children's book, especially before bedtime.
Jeden Abend liest die Mutter ihrem Sohn eine Geschichte aus einem Kinderbuch vor.
Every evening, the mother reads her son a story from a children's book.
The word component 'Kinder-' (children's) is used in many German words to describe something intended for children. Other examples are 'der Kindergarten' (kindergarten), 'das Kinderzimmer' (children's room), or 'die Kinderkleidung' (children's clothing).
Im Kinderzimmer gibt es nicht nur Spielzeug, sondern auch viele Kinderbücher.
