Childrens' Books

Why do I read childrens' books every now and then? I never did before I had children of my own. Books like 'The Bad Beginning', and 'The Artemis Fowl Files'. Not Dr. Seuss mind you, but for a slightly older audience, perhaps 8 years old and up (although I do like Seuss as well!).

For one, childrens' books can be very simply written, which is a delight in itself. Second, at times the plots are not bad. Third, they can be read in a few hours. Fourth, I want to learn how to write childrens' books - I might want to write them some day.

Perhaps best of all, to see what my children like to read! All the childrens' books I have read were first read by - yes - my children!
