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

My favorite books to read are children books and YA. It doesn't matter how old I become. Children's books will always remain fear to me.

[Wasif Ahmed]

Of course. I love reading them especially the Harry Potter books. It takes the stress away after going to work.

Yep. I too have re read the Harry Potter series quite a few times.

Honestly there's a lot of children books that I'm sure adults still read to this day. Someone mentioned the Harry Potter series, that's actually a perfect example of a children's series that is loved by all ages.

I read them on 3 different occasions:
-if I am reading to my own children
-if I am trying to re-experience a favorite book or story from my own childhood
-if there is a children's book or series that has become popular and i want to see what the hype is about

Oh my goodness. I actually have all of the first goosebumps on my phone. Takes me back to not so long ago. I also enjoy Sweet Valley. But then again I used to read teenage books when I was ten years old. The kiddies books wasn't enough for me.

I still read children's and YA books. I especially like to reread ones from my childhood and reminiscence.

[Dia Moroz]

Yes! Fortunately, I have young kids now so I can pretend I am doing it for them We just finished Pipi Longstocking - and only now do I realize how much did this book influence my world view. She is my true soul mate!

No, I am an adult and have grown up.
I am quite old, it was a long time since I was a child.

[AlwaysWorthIt]

All the time. Not only do I enjoy memories from books I used to read, but I want to see what books are "popular" today and what the differences are. I have a lot of nieces and nephews and friends who are teachers that are always looking for a new book.

I don't actively read kids books anymore, but I still have a soft spot for my favorites. When I most recently moved and reestablished my bookshelf, I gave my kids and YA books a hug before I put them back in their spot on the shelf.

[noorsawhney]

I definitely do! I've never quite grown out of my child book phase and whenever a new book from a series I loved comes out, I always read it. I read YA books quite often (mainly because that is my age group!) but they never quite capture the childhood innocence that comes with reading children's books. I always have memories flooding back from when I first read a book if I am rereading it.

[Rebecca Henderson]

Every so often I might pick up a children's book to read. Having had three younger sisters, I was the one to teach them how to read and so quite honestly I stayed in the children's section a lot longer than I think most kids my age did. I would pick out books for them to read that I thought were cool and that I had liked. I also think that sometimes really good concepts come out in children's literature, and even YA as well. Just because the concepts might be a little less cerebral than adult fiction--and of course contain less violence and sexuality--doesn't mean they are easily grasped. Children's books often have a humorous element too, and who doesn't like a little humor now and then?

[alpharod22]

Occasionally! Some of the books are very interesting that I sometimes find myself reading them. Plus, I still have the books we would ‘buy’ at the book fair in elementary and secondary school.

[Karl Famarso]

Yes! Of course! Being a kid is the best feeling ever. In which you can begin to feel again the aura of a happy and stressful life that children are experiencing. As a teen, i like the concept of tales that tends to manipulate our wide imagination to experience the best feeling within.

I still read children's book especially now that I have a daughter it makes me feel refresh. I thought of it as a break from those heavy drama books that I'm reading. Reading this particular genre is just so light.
