With respect to types of publications, the picture of child and adolescent edition in 2007 has not experienced major changes from previous years, but highlights the presence of picture books to support par excellence where publishers dare with complex histories, not directed exclusively to early readers, and illustrated a novel way to interest to young people and adults.

The illustration, which has come back strongly in advertisements in both written and audiovisual media, has been incorporated into the text field for young people and language becomes important as narrative and not merely accompanying text.

Fantastic literature, in turn, has not been a fad and reaffirms its presence in the books for the age of 9 years on, where the influence of media (television series and video games) is felt in the themes and narrative modes.

also include reissues of classic works and the development of translations of titles by unknown authors of the 50's, that discovered the record many of the fantasy works of recent years.

Moreover, the biographies of famous people (scientists, writers and politicians) have multiplied. This year we have focused on Darwin and the Year of Science 2007.
