Abstract
51 Mexican children ages 3 and 4 years were asked to express preferenc es for 9 abstract and 9 realistic paintings on two separate occasions. Consistently, the children showed no clear preferences for abstract o r realistic paintings and their choices remained stable. Implications for educational and cultural environments as well as children's litera ture are discussed.
