This article lists the various categories that Children's and Teen books can be broken down into, ranging from board books to new adult and many age groups in between and explain how they can be broken down based on categories such as length, protagonist, plot, character arc, language and theme.

I think that this article does a good job at giving a breakdown of why books are put into the category they are and what guidelines to follow if someone is looking to get published in that area. My only suggestion would be that the author give good examples of each to get an idea of what fits the criteria laid out.
