It is therefore necessary to take care of the physical, content and painting characteristics in children's books.The study aims to determine the status of the painting children's books for primary school students in terms of the physical, content and painting characteristics. In the study, a model was applied. Qualitative research methods have been used in the collection, analysis and interpretation of obtained data. The documents were reviewed for the purpose of collecting the data. The universe of the study is aimed at primary school first-class students and its first printing is made between 2005-2010 painted children's books (histories and fairy tales), and its example is 120 painted children's books selected by the method of random sampling from the universe. Imaginary analysis was used in the analysis of data. The study found that the books studied did not use durable skin, that there was no subject diversity, that three-thirds of the images were imaginary objects, that the writing/image ratio was not at the desired level. In most books, it is seen that the rules of linguistic knowledge are followed and the relationship of painting/text is observed.
