Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story__1__ their children. And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a good children’s book. Either the author has aimed too 2 , so that the children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 3 the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children’s books are 4 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the child who hears the story and the adult who read it. Unfortunately, there are in fact few books like this, 5 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 6 to solve.

Children, left for themselves, often 8 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in a bookshop or a library and he will more willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics(连环画), full of the stories and jokes which are the objections of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop 9 to brainwash children into accepting our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 10 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the same books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise(妥协) over the bedtime story.
