And they must have 2 how difficult it is to write a3childrens book.Either the author has aimed too 4,so that children cant follow what is in his (or more often ,her )story,5the story seems to be talking to the readers. The best childrens books are 6very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy the 7who hears the story and the adult who 8it. Unfortunately, there are in fact 9books like this, 10the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 11to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as 12of childrens literature were in fact written for 13. “Alice in Wonerland ” is perhaps the most 14of this. Children ,left for themselves, often 15the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a 16and he will 17willingly choose the books written in an unimaginative way, or have a look at the most childrens comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 18of teachers and right-thinking parents. Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children into 19our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 20that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose well just have to compromise over the bedtime story. 1.

All of you.” The 7 came down. “Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go8.” Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled.
