If children are studying the 20th century, I'm in their text books.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People in their forties, fifties, and onward enjoy the whole world of books in a different way than the Internet-age kids do.
As far as I'm concerned, you either read books for children, or you read books for adults.
I collect books, primarily first-edition 20th-century fiction.
My books are just pure escapism for kids.
I think children love reading, and they will make time for it if we put the right books into their hands. And I hope I get the chance to keep being one of the people that writes them.
If you read in front of your kids, it's very likely that they'll become readers, too.
The younger generation is surrounded by the Internet, apps, and video games. But somehow, my books make them read.
I write books for all age groups - young kids, teenagers and adults - because I get a range of different ideas.
I didn't read children's books when I was a child. The only books in our house were ration books.
I'm not terribly conversant with children's literature in general. I tend to read books for adults, being an adult.
