Hi David,
what do you mean with children's books?

One of my favorites (Grimm's Fairy Tales) is by far not a children's book.
Proof, many editions of Grimm are cutted down and corrupted in an
unbelievable way. I think six hour of tv daily is better than these
'editions'.

Also a fairy tale hour is very often much better recommended for the so
called full grown and adults!

Many years ago I read The Infinite Story (Die unendliche Geschichte) from
Michael Ende. There was a reading hour from Ende himself. I visited it and
found, very surprised, mostly children! That was the time of the books of
Castaneda! Fairy tale books today?

I think some 'children's books' deliver often a very interesting
representation of the world.

Regards
Karsten
