 Children's literature includes ages 0-8.  This may include picture books, wordless books, easy readers, illustrated chapter books, and early chapter books.  Middle grade literature includes ages 8-12.  Then we get into middle school which is ages 11-13.  Many times middle grade and middle school is confused.  Middle school books typically deal with tougher issues and romance.  You want to be careful giving a middle grade student a middle school book.  Young adult is ages 13-18 years old.  It is important to look at the topic and the language of the book.
