3.0 out of 5 stars Good to a degree, February 3, 2000

By A Customer

This is a broad-based book with advice for writers who have narrowed their interest to, as the title suggests: writing for children. While a good introductory to this medium, it is not detailed in one way or another; so, if you find you have a particular genre or type of childrens book you would like to develop--or have already started--consider this book an accessory, not an integral addition to your library. It will only gloss over the different topics with one or two examples...and I didn't aggree with several of the author's opinions. It's too expensive for the half-hour read that it is, anyway.
