Recently, children"s literature (文学) has become more and more popular. In fact, children"s literature has been welcomed by both children and adults. People have tried to find out why adults love children"s literature just like children themselves. But there is no final answer. Children"s literature is very different from adult"s literature. Most of it is fantasy (幻想). That means children can use their imagination. They can enjoy the fantasy world, which is never boring. The most important thing is that the world is bright and hopeful. In the fantasy world, dead people can be alive again and broken legs can grow once more. Right always beats wrong in the end. Children"s literature can also influence children a lot in education. When they read, their knowledge is increased and children know more about the truth. For a child who just learns to read, understanding the meaning of a word may be greater than learning the word itself. Children"s literature is not only for children. A large number of adults like it too. Not only young adults, parents and teachers, but also other people of all ages enjoy it. Both children and adults who love children"s literature can get much pleasure from it. | |||
