Is it ok to use exaggeration in childrens books?

admin — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 22:51:46 +0000

Im working on a short childrens poem and im just wondering if it would be acceptable to go "There was a king who had many many friends" because i have seen words like that used twice in other childrens books. So is it alright and would i need to put a comma between the many?

It depends on how it’s pronounced and who your editor is, I’m guessing. It is okay, for sure. And almost all children’s story’s are exaggerated.

What does it mean when my teacher wants me to annotate childrens books?

admin — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:25:26 +0000

The paper said they have to be my annotations not any off the web, I don’t know what to do.

Well, you could start by asking your teacher.

Annotations are notes on something explaining it further. So in an annotated bibliography, there is a few sentences under each source saying what it is or how it was used. My guess is your teacher wants you to explain each page of the book (or chapter or something, if it’s a longer book), analyzing it–maybe explaining how the illustrations add to the story?

What Childrens Books Can I Read To My Kids To Teach Them to Be Good Communists?

admin — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 14:13:36 +0000

It is hard to raise your children to be good communists in this decadent capitalist bourgeois country. They are indoctrinated with capitalist propaganda such as "free market is good" from Kindergarten. Does anyone know any good communist childrens books I can read to my kids to counteract this propaganda?

If you find our system so offensive to live under, feel free to move to Cuba, China, North Korea, or Russia, or one of the many other highly successful communist countries you seem to think so highly of. This country has it’s faults, as do all others, but at least here we can believe as we choose.
