Children's Books discussion

Experts explain why the illustration is so important in the narrative and give tips on how to choose a picture book for your children.

By turning an idea into something reality, illustrated book further fuels the child’s fantasy. Recent research on teaching concluded that the best performing students are not the ones who read the classics. The important thing is to allow children access to a variety of reading styles and the pleasure of choosing what they want to read.

That's cool. However, I'm not sure that I agree with the last big about classics and about reading what they want.
Children are gravitating towards books that have no redeeming value and poor vocabulary. It's important to force the classics, so kids can have a taste of true writing. They need more than Captain Underpants to succeed! :$
