forced to ask: what can we say about a book, why should we say it, how can we say it, and
what effect will what we say have? We are also forced to confront our preconceptions (1999
Peter Hunt). It Is interesting how extent could be childrens literature. In the first chapter,
Children’s literature, expose how amplified topics and facts are to be considered before
explain to someonae else how works. There are concepts, ideas, and methods are use or
instructed in Childrens literature. Finally, I hold that in literature we find the best expression
of the human imagination, and the most useful means by which we come to grips with our
ideas about ourselves and what we are(Chambers 1985:16).
I couldn’t agree more with Chambers, Childrens and literature should be guided and inclusive
to all imagination gatherings. Having on mind there are believes, faiths, ideas, values and
styles raising a child. How we approach every topic and vocabulary words, we gotta keep the
specific instructions on lesson on how introduced literature, specially with kids. It seems
particular how children’s book are written. They have many different structures. Fpr example
Poetry, can not be seen as specfic book. It have rythm or certain way to be written. For books
also we should considered the community or country. Probably students at same grade level,
can be reading other books woth higher or lower variation in depth and relatively in their
lives.
In the history, ideology and data used on our knowledgment is bassicaly coming from the
male view, and anglocentric point of view. It will be clear by now that both the range of
children’s books and the ways in which they can be studied are very extensive. Just as
children’s books are part of the ideological structures of the cultures of the world, so their
history is constructed ideologically (Some progress is being made with books such as Lynne
Vallone’s Disciplines of Virtue. Girls’ Culture in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries,
Kimberley Reynolds’s Girls Only? Gender and Popular Children’s Fiction in Britain, 1880–
1910, and, more theoretically (and evangelistically) Roberta Seelinger Trites’s Waking
Sleeping Beauty: Feminist Voices in Children’s Novels). Whn they explain us this specific
valid point, is definitly revised how century’s have changed and relevant topics to approach
in classroom.
The study of children’s literature involves three elements—the literature, the children, and the
adult critics. Children’s book is taken as the narrator voice, guided into the best way a child
can process or take information. On the eye of an adult it can be different, taking as example,
the faith of any individual or believes. Children’s books are generally shorter; they tend to
favour an active rather than a passive treatment, with dialogue and incident rather than
description and introspection (McDowell 1973). Which can be safe for all ears or readers.
Also Children’s books are written with easy vocabulary words, pictures and images. There
are a lot of researches and authors of many investigations on How Children’s books impacted
kids lives? How is written and how is told? Many interrogants on what could be the best
definition of Children’s literature.
Over the litarature of chapter 1 and chapter 2, exist many theories how this
educational books for primary grades can be described. Finally, How to open our minds as
adults and treat kids with elements of literacy higher than we expected it should be in books.
