From its emergence--marked by the development in the 1930s of new teaching methods based on images rather than text--through to the present day, the children's photobook has served as a stimulus for children to question and nurture their view of the world. Explored by some of the major figures in photography, the genre is notable for predominately attracting women photographers and uniting a diversity of disciplines, such as the graphic arts and live performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhotobooks include: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eAenne Biermann: 60 Photos\u003c\/i\u003e (1930), \u003ci\u003eMary Steichen Martin: The First Picture Book\u003c\/i\u003e (1930), \u003ci\u003eYlla: Animals (1950)\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRobert Doisneau: 1,2,3,4,5\u003c\/i\u003e (1955), \u003ci\u003eStefan Moses: Manuel\u003c\/i\u003e (1967), \u003ci\u003eTana Hoban: Count and See\u003c\/i\u003e (1972), \u003ci\u003eShigeichi Nagano: The Hospital at Night\u003c\/i\u003e (1979), \u003ci\u003eBruno Munari: Ciccì Coccò\u003c\/i\u003e (1982), \u003ci\u003eRobert Wood: What's Next?
