The literature review shed light on the importance of illustrations in children’s books, as well as highlighting the ever-changing styles with which illustrations have been produced throughout the history of children’s book illustrations. Do today’s children prefer illustrations created in the past or those created today, with contemporary techniques and technology? The answer to this question will guide the creation of a set of children’s illustrations. Since these illustrations will be created with children’s preferences in mind, they would hopefully illuminate children’s books (both traditional books and ebooks) which appeal to their imagination and increasing their enthusiasm towards reading.
