There is no substitute for books in the life of a child.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every book is a children's book if the kid can read!
I cannot live without books.
I didn't read children's books when I was a child. The only books in our house were ration books.
Children will often write, 'We love your books because there are no adults in them.'
Writing for children is bloody difficult; books for children are as complex as their adult counterparts, and they should therefore be accorded the same respect.
Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a poor substitute for life.
Reading should not be presented to children as a chore, a duty. It should be offered as a gift.
You do not chop off a section of your imaginative substance and make a book specifically for children, for - if you are honest - you have no idea where childhood ends and maturity begins. It is all endless and all one.
I do not remember any proper children's books in my childhood. I was not exposed to them.
I never wrote my books especially for children.
