Are you or have you ever been interested in children's books?

The best children's books are adult books as well.  Great literature is great literature no matter who it is intended for.  I read to my step-grandchild though he is still too young to really comprehend. 

Every summer when my daughter was little, the library would have a reading program for children.  They read so many books, note the author and title, and they get little prizes.  Nothing fancy, just maybe a cute pencil or bookmark.  She always participated, and I was happy to hear that after all of these years the library still does that every year.     
When I held my daughter's baby shower a few weeks ago, I requested that rather than cards, include a little book instead, signed by them. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at March 16, 2019 1:42 PM MDT

I love them. I've passed many of my children's books on to my niece and nephew, but I still have some special ones that I hope to give to my future grandchildren someday. 

Yes, in the context of reading to children.  Today's children books are often political propaganda hiding in a sweet story.  I urge parents to know what their children are reading and what is being read to them. 

I used to write children's books - The Blobs, similar to Roger Hargreaves' Mr Men. I read to my grandson when he will sit still for long enough - he's particularly fond of the Rev Awdry's Railway series (the basis for Thomas the Tank Engine, one of Awdry's characters).

If I could draw, I would have written several by now, I need an illustrator.  One day I hope to have at least one to leave for posterity.  This post was edited by Art Lover at March 16, 2019 1:43 PM MDT

Absolutely...nostalgia always has me wrapped around it's little finger. One of my kids is right at the age where he's still learning and he reads, reads, and reads. I'm always trying to track down my old favorites from childhood that I can force him to read too, haha. 

I love the Children's and young adults books section, it is a wonderful treat to walk through.  I love the feel of a book and turning of the page.  The electronic readers bother me for many reasons. 

Green Eggs and Ham I do find particularly loathsome, followed by Are you my Mother?.  My oldest loved those books, the youngest love those books.  As a parent however I have read them one too many times and will do so tonight.......  I am Sam I am........ Yuck, Yuck, Yuck

Now as the twins fo for their bookcase, guess what is grabbed....

Actually yes! 
They are hands down, my favorite form of literature. 
I buy, read, and collect them.
What a priceless and endearing form of artistry and media.

My children were raised on Dr. Seuss. I don't recall ever reading children's books. I recall very little prior to six years old, but somebody taught me to read. At age seven my aunt gave me a set of science books and I could read and understand them. I have no clue how that happened. It was like I magically woke up one day and knew stuff.
