Magic realism is a fusion of reality and magic, powered by a child's dreams or imagination - for example, the Crockett Johnson Harold's Purple Crayon Adventures series.

Traditional literature inclues fairy tales, folk tales, myths and legends. It features story telling patterns with elements of fantasy - for example, Anderson's fairy tales.

Informational (nonfiction) picture books are reference and general knowledge books that seek to impart knowledge and generate interest - currency and accuracy are import.
