Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have 36 how difficult it is to write a 37 children's book. Either the author has aimed too 38, so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 39 the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children's books are 40 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 41 who hears the story and the adult who 42 it. Unfortunately, there are in fact 43 books like this, 44 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 45 to solve.
This may be why many of books regarded as 46 of children's literature were in fact written for 47 . “Alice's Adventure in Wonderland” is perhaps the most 48 of this.
Children, left for themselves, often 49 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or 50 and he will more willingly choose the books 51 in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics (连环画), full of the stories and jokes to which both ___52__ and right-thinking parents object.
Perhaps we parents should stop trying to persuade children into 53 our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 54 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 55 books. So I suppose we'll just have to compromise(妥协) over that bedtime story.
