I have children so we read those books. I find myself enjoying them more than I thought possible. The simplicity and joy of some Childrens books are a nice break from the more complex books.

Sure I still do. Sometimes I just love picking them up the library shelves and read through them. It usually fun. Sometimes I wish I can grow up again...

I still read books for children especially if it's fairy tale . I'm still wishing for an impossible thing to happen. I miss being a kid too!

Yes. I still read children's books. I have a eight-year old niece who has good books.At times, I read her the stories but most of the time, I borrow the book and read on my own. I don't know I am happy when I read books that belong to the children's genre. It makes me go back to my childhood days.

I definitely do. I still enjoy reading books that belong to the children's genre. I love reading books like Enid Blyton, Goosebumps and random fairy tales. It is very interesting and colourful. To me, I love reading anything that is colourful and eye catching. I think reading these books also give me some knowledge for future reference once I have my own children. It is important to know what they are reading. :D

Of course! I'm not really particular about any genre, I just read whatever I can get my hands on! :D The Children's' Genre is a great refresher after reading deep stuff. I usually enjoy any book unless it's too boring that I can't stand it all! Keep up the good work, authors! Keep fascinating me!

It's funny because I just finished reading Beauty and the Beast Novelization (adopted from the 2017 movie), and it was awesome! I love great children's books!

Yes! I re-read my favorite series from childhood all the time, my personal favorite being Cirque du Freak. Darren Shan is just MARVElOUS because he has this ability to craft books that people of all ages can enjoy. It was so hard as a child finding really great horror novels, and horror series were almost always out of the question. So, yeah, I do still read books in the children's genre because they were such amazing bits of literature that I always find myself going back to them.

I don't necessarily know if some of the books I read are considered children's books. I remember reading Harry Potter and The Series of Unfortunate Events starting in elementary school but I think those are more considered YA. But they are classics to me and I still read them!
