dc.description.abstract | "Literature has been very important around the world because with it people have read and learned what writers have expressed throughout time, expanded their reading skills, vocabulary, and most importantly expanded their vision of other cultures and their imagination. Authors from different times and places have written literary works with a specific purpose in each one, such as expressing their ideas and feeling or telling a story while giving reading pleasure for their readers. Literature is mainly written for adults due to the diverse topics that the authors write about; many of them dealing with mature situations. But children are not apart from literature, as they have been submerged in literature with topics that are suitable for them; some authors have dedicated to writing only for children, more greatly expanding a genre in literature known as children’s literature.
Works in children’s literature, such as books, short stories and poems, have been written with the purpose of giving children and teenagers a form of entertainment, and also for teaching them life lessons, morals and values, as well as instilling the habit of reading and therefore improving their reading skills." | |
