Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have         how difficult it is to write a         children's book.  Either the author has aimed too     . , so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story,         the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children's books are         very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the      who hears the story and the adult who          it. Unfortunately, there are in fact        books like this,        the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not         to solve.
This may be why many of books regarded as         of children's literature were in fact written for       . “Alice's Adventure in Wonderland” is perhaps the most         of this.
Children, left for themselves, often       the worst possible interest in literature. Just  leave a child in bookshop or       and he will more  willingly choose the books     in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics ( 连环画 ), full of the stories and jokes to which both teachers and right-thinking parents      .
Perhaps we parents should stop trying to persuade children into         our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so        that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the       books. So I suppose we'll just have to compromise（妥协） over that bedtime story.
