Do you still read books belonging to the children's genre?

Yes, I do. Sometimes for the simplicity and I still find them rather interesting and enjoyable to read.

Life-long fan of Darren Shan. Recently picked up his Zom-B series and I'm ashamed to say I love it at age 23.

Yes i do. working with children entails coming down to their level. by reading such books, one is able to relate well with children and also engage them up to their level. Failing to read child related materials may make one handle children in a way he/she assumes is appropriate and in the long run miss out on the component of child friendly content. In addition children relate and interact well with persons who seem to belong in their "school of thought"

I find that most of the books I love and reread on a regular basis either come from the YA or for some strange reason the 9-10 fiction section. I love Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy- yet I found them one day in the aforementioned section and assumed they must have been put there mistakenly- they detail a head being ripped from the body, I'm sure that entitles it to be a YA novel. Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer is another personal favourite and this is definitely a no shame kids/YA book that I delve into at least once a year as it is marvellous!

I like to collect and read old children's fairy tales, the older the better.
Stories where stealing can cost you your life or limb. Where strange and mysterious events happen.
I can and will read newer children's tales as I have two small children. Some have great tales to be told but I find they don't have the same type of language that really gets me interested.

I definitely enjoy reading young adult books (if that qualifies). Especially in the summer when you want something easy and entertaining. When I was teaching, I used to love reading what my students were reading.

Some children's books have themes that are too subtle for a child to understand. That's why I sometimes read children's books in order to find those themes.

I don't know if Lemony Snickett "A series of unfortunate events" qualifies. But that has been my recent reread. I definitely will be looking for more children books, I recently became an aunt...and what better way to occupy my time than to read to my little niece or tell her stories.

Occasionally I do, because I do find it amusing.

Yes! Absolutely! Children books still have that calming feeling and sometimes even puts a smile on my face. It sometimes reminds me of my childhood days, so when I read to my children, they too enjoy the book.
