LOL. Go to the library and look at their new copy of "Children's Writers and Illustrators Market." They have a long list. It's not a matter of just representing Children's authors. Some don't do picture books, some do pictures books, chapter books and YA books, but don't do fantasy. Some don't want books with talking animals.

Either take a pen and paper and take notes of the ones that fit with your book OR some change for the copy machine.

Usually this year's copy is in the reference section, while last year's copy is available to take out. I would use this year's. Then come home and look up all the agents you found on the web, to make sure their information hasn't changed.

Good luck!
