This is my go-to when parents ask me how to get their kids to read (because this is just something authors know). It’s *amazing* to me how much resistance it gets. Likewise “let them read books about spaceships, ninjas and magic.”

I can never understand why children's books get left out of "great book" lists. The books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes no-one. They are books for EVERYONE - and if you exclude them, you miss the most important books of all!
