Yes. I actually like to read children's books. They are very light and easy to read so it's a good past time.

Not that much of cause, but yes I do. Children's stories are sometimes enticing yet they usually tend to be too simple and boring. All I can say is that they are pretty perfect for their rightful target group! :lol:

Yes! I love children's books and how it paints the world in a very simple light. I remember reading Roald Dahl books in High School and realized how I wasn't scared at how he described horrors in a simple way when I was a kid, only to be scared of how he had depicted them then as I read them as a teenager. Even Grimm's fairy tales and a few Japanese children's stories have immensely mature lessons that are told in a simple manner, whether with an aim to inspire or warn children. As an adult, looking back on the books I've read, I always include the children's books that I've read on a list of the must-reads because they weren't just habit-forming, they were also crucial to behavioral development.

Yes,I do. Infact I find children's books to be very peaceful and enjoyable at the same time. It takes me back to my childhood days.

It is always fun for me to read children's books like Goosebumps, Wimpy Kid or this one since the books are always fun to read and most definitely interesting due to the illustrations. In spite of being an adult, I really love children's books and read them whenever I get the chance to do so.

Some times I do. Most of the time if I do it's to read a story to my daughter at bedtime. I do read a lot of YA books though.

I am a young adult, and I love (with a capital L) reading children's books. Children's books always seem to be funnier than books meant for teens and adults. I enjoy reading children's books.

There are some books that I've revisited as an adult, and the message is different from the message I got when I read the book as a child. Some books have a deeper meaning when read as an adult. I also really enjoy reading to my children.

Yes! We read Farewell to Manzanar in high school and it is still one of my favorite books. I just began rereading the Harry Potter series.

Yes. I do. The most known children's book of all time, Harry Potter. I still enjoy it as much as I did in my childhood. I still have my old fairy tale books too and do flip through them to refresh old memories. I still have my Archie Comics collection, but it has been a while since I have touched those.

Yes because it helps me narrative some stories to young children and they will be able to have an overview of the book even though they haven't read it.

Yes, I do! Children's books are really good to read because of it's colorful illustrations and cutie characters.
