books for kids
Kids books are meant to be read by kids but written by adults . My children and my friends kids enjoy these types of books . I buy them more and more nearly every week they LOVE them . To advise my point my kids really like the tiger who came to tea . My children are called Alice and Charlie . Alice likes Alice in wonderland
and Charlie likes Charlie and the chocolate factory . I read these books to my dear children after they went to bed and prayed it sets them right to sleep . To sum up make more children books thank you
