Do you like to read books for children?

Question

Several years back I wanted to try writing books for children.  Becoming an author of children's books never happened for me.  Life got in the way.  But in the process of trying, I learned something about myself.  I love reading books for children.  Not reading books TO children.  I'm an adult and I love reading books written FOR children.  Especially fantasy picture books!  They are so amazing.  Neat little short stories with a moral lesson and amazing illustrations!  Going to the library, picking books off the shelves from the children and juvenile literature section, and taking them home to read is such a delightful treat!  Even though you're an adult, do you enjoy reading books written for children?

Reading is a pleasure. So why not do it for children too?

If I don't find it fun to read for my own children, who then would I find it satisfying to read to? My kids are my joy and I find it absolutely fascinating reading to them. 

Answer 1

Absolutely, I enjoy reading books for children. It's a special thing to me. They are so special. I love trying to learn about them and to find out what things have meaning for them. And of course, reading the books for themselves.

Answer 2

I love reading fiction for kids or even teens. If you are also into this kind of book I highly recommend a book called Howl's moving castle, by Diane Whynne Jones (or something like that). It is my top top top favorite book for kids/teens. There is even a movie for this movie, perhaps you have already seen/read it.

Answer 3

yes I really love reading children books because it has more interesting stories and good moral lessons to learn from it and it contains attractive pictures.
