Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their child
Either the author has aimed too 【C3】______ , so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 【C4】______ the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children's books are 【C5】______ very difficult nor very simple, and 【C6】______ both the child who hears the story and the adult who reads it. 【C7】______ , there are in fact few books like this, 【C8】______ the problem offending the right bedtime story is not 【C9】______ to solve.
This may be why many books regarded as 【C10】______ of children's literature were in fact written for 【C11】______ . Alice's Adventure in Wonderland is perhaps the most 【C12】______ of this.
Children, left for themselves, often 【C13】______ the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or 【C14】______ and he will 【C15】______ willingly choose the books written in an 【C16】______ way, or have a look at most children's comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 【C17】______ of teachers and right thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children into 【C18】______ our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 【C19】______ that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 【C20】______ books. So I suppose we'll just have to compromise over that bedtime story.
