Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have　1　how difficult it is to write a　2　children's book. Either the author has aimed too　3　, so that the children can't follow what is in his(or more often, her)story, 　4　the story seems to be talking to the readers.

The best children's books are　5　very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the　6　who hears the story and the adult who　7　it. Unfortunately, there are in fact　8　books like this, 　9　the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not　10　to solve.

This may be why many of books regarded as　11　of children's literature were in fact written for　12　. Alice's Adventure in Wonderland is perhaps the most　13　of this.

Children, left for themselves, often　14　the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or　15　and he will　16　willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the　17　of teachers and right-thinking parents.

Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children into　18　our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so　19　that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the　20　books. So I suppose we'll just have to compromise over that bedtime story.
