Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have
11 how difficult it is to write a
12 children’s book. Either the author has aimed too
13 , so that the children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story,
14 the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are
15 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the
16 who hears the story and the adult who
17 it. Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this,
18 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not
19 to solve. This may be why many of the books regarded as
20 of children’s literature(文学) were in fact written for
21 . “Alice in wonderland” is perhaps the most obvious of this.
Children, left for themselves, often
22 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a
23 and he will more willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics(连环画), full of the stories and jokes which are the objections of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop
24 to brainwash children into accepting our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so
25 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise(妥协) over the bedtime story.
