Children Fiction

Children's books were originally written with the purpose of education in mind, which included books containing alphabets, numbers, and simple words and objects. The didactic purpose of stories was also developed to teach children moral values and good behaviour. Stories with these characteristics found their way into publication, and adults eventually began to encourage children to read these stories and read them to children themselves.There are many types of children's fiction, including classic fiction, picture books, fairy tales and folklore, fantasy fiction, young adult fiction, and children's detective fiction.
