Hello World.
This blog is one the wonder and simplicity of little kid books. Have you ever read, or read to a little sibling, a children's book. I have. I am amazed at the astounding simplicity of them. They use little words that make sense, have beautiful pictures and if one looks for it, has really good symbols and morals of the stories. Now, compare these beautiful books with a callous, colorless college textbook (terrifically terrifying)! Both should not be able to be called books! The are not even similar. For one, children's books are simple and everyone can understand them, no problem. College textbooks however, talk about the dullest subjects on earth, and you can ever understand them, there are so prosaic. There are also competitions for children's books, who has the best pictures, story line, whatever; while you don't see any "college textbook competitions" except at colleges where the students get together and decide and give "the most boring book of the year" award. Maybe college textbook writers should take advice from those who taught the kids how to read, and make books so people can understand them without having to use their subconscious mind by falling asleep.
