This paper reports partial results of a study of children's information seeking behavior regarding physical characteristics of books from Beak's study (2014) constructing a child‐driven metadata schema by understanding children's cognitive processes and behaviors during book selection. Understanding children's cognitive processes and behaviors during book selection contributes to support knowledge organization systems reflecting children's perspectives. This paper includes a short transcription of an account of two children while perceiving physical characteristics of books. In addition, two examples are introduced to show how physical characteristics can be described in metadata records.
