Children’s books are important not only because they teach all sorts of morals and fundamentals, but also because they are how we first develop our appreciation for reading. We learn at a very early age that books can take us into any time period and any location imaginable. They introduce us to characters both real and fictional. Children’s books follow entirely different design principles; where 14pt text isn’t outrageous and having more pictures than words is acceptable.
What is your favorite children’s book? What about it made it your favorite and why do you think it was so effective?
