RE: Children's Books That Are Not For Children (WTF?)
"Children" is a very broad term....
- It can be interpreted in various ways. Such as, some adults are, and even see themselves as children.
- A 5 year old is a child, is a 15 year old a child too? There is a gigantic difference in levels of understanding between those two "children".
I agree on that the term is vast and there is always the personal factor that determines whether a person is still a "child"
As far as those books are concerned, judging from the layout and images they look like any other nursery and early primary school stories you expect to see in a library or bookstore. And as I worte in a greek comment here, I wouldn't wish to see those books in the same shelf with "normal" children's books.
They are probably fun for an adult to read (I myself have made up worse rhymes than those at a young age), but I wouldn't give them to a child.
I like to see people's opinions on this, because it is a really controversial topic...
I understand.
There is nothing wrong with discussing things... All sorts of things!
