Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story 　1　 　their children. And they must have　 2　 　how difficult it is to write a　 3 children’sbook.Either the author has aimed too　 4　 ,so that children can’t follow what is in his (or more often ,her )story, 　5　 the story seems to be talking to the readers.

　The best children’s books are 　　6　 　very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy the 7　　 　who hears the story and the adult who 　8　 it. Unfortunately, there are in fact 　9　 books like this, 10　 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 　11　 to solve.

This may be why many of the books regarded as 12 　of children’s literature(文学) were in fact written for　 13　 . “Alice in Wonerland ” is perhaps the most　 14　 of this.

Children ,left for themselves, often 　15　 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a 　16　 　and he will 17　 willingly choose the books written in an unimaginative way, or have a look at the most children’s comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 　18　 of teachers and right-thinking parents.

Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children into 　19 our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 20　 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise(妥协)over the bedtime story.
