Anything that gets children reading is fine.

Books that kids read should be about what is going on in the world.

It is the child's understanding that teaches the adults the way of the future. They're still doing it today with modern technology.

Animals are sentient, intelligent, perceptive, funny and entertaining. We owe them a duty of care as we do to children.

Children have to be motivated to want to learn to read. Reading must not be taught simply as a school exercise.

Wars become history all too soon and are forgotten all too soon as well, before the lessons can be learned.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.
