I love reading Children's books! Now that I'm older, I can better appreciate the hidden themes woven into the story. My favourites include Harry Potter (although I'm not sure the last few books fit into this category), Anne of Green Gables and Wonder.

No. The English sometimes feels to simple for me. However, I am stuck in teen fiction.

Whenever I pick up a children's book, I relax and I don't feel pressured. It gives me a certain "everything's good and alright" feeling when I read a children's book - I love them!

I love childrens books and young adult books. I read them and write reviews on my blog to inform other parents of what their children are going to be reading. When my children get a bit older, i will be screening all of their school books.

Yap, yap, yap, I still do read children's books and will never get tired reading them. It brings back the child in me and makes me feel so light hearted. I think we all should still find some time reading children's books once in a while.

I adore children's books! I am almost always reading a children's books of some kind. I believe I love children's books more then any other genre because of all of the important life lessons usually found in children's books. I also read books constantly as a child and I love to reread the books from my childhood.

Yes, we were too poor to afford children's books when I was young, so I'm still catching up until now. There are a lot of children's books that appeal to adults.

Yes, I still read lots of children's books because I have children, and I was even reviewing them in my blog. I stopped reviewing children's books because I had to talk about my children in a public sphere (how they liked books or activities they did with them), which I wasn't comfortable with. Now I read the books with them, but don't duscusss it in public and only review YA and adult books.

If I could, I would re-read some of the Goosebumps books I used to collect 23 years ago just to see if they seem childish to me now. Seeing now that a lot of those books have been re-released with new covers makes me wish I still had my old collection. I do however still read every book that Sarah Dessen, a teen author puts out. I've been reading her books since I was a teen and they all just have such a unique personality and strong message behind them that I just never stopped keeping up with her stuff. My favorite of hers is "Along for the Ride."

The only children's books that I still read are those in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. These books follow the lives of four clans of wild cats living in the forest. I love cats and adored these books as a child. They have been fun to reread!

I always read them to my young girls and we enjoy the flow of the stories in the children's books.
