This study has been conducted for the purpose of determining preschool children's parents' criteria for selecting children's books. The population of the research is made up of the parents of 102 children attending the six kindergartens in the center of Kastamonu province. A Personal Information Form and an Interview Form were used to collect data. In the research, of the qualitative research methods, a descriptive analysis method was used. The percentage of the responses of the parents was given quantitatively and they were commented on. As a result of the analysis of the data of the research, it was found that the parents bought their children children's books especially at the age of four or five, they did not usually take the size and weight of the book into consideration, but they paid attention to especially the age group, authors and publishers. Furthermore, the parents expressed that the most important criteria was which age group children's books should address. However, they stated the price and durability of children's books as the last two criteria. While the parents who took part in the research usually defended that children's books should be instructive and didactic, they stated that books should address especially children's interests and needs while developing their imagination.
