Children's genre

For project three I am going to write a children’s book. This assignment seems like it will be a beneficial project because I want to go into education. I would like to teach kids around five to ten years old. While looking at different children’s books and writing my journals, I noticed a few common themes. For instance, in many of the books there was rhyming. I understand why means children’s authors did this. I think they did this because it grabs the kids’ attention. I also learned that a lot of kid’s books are educational. Another thing I noticed about this genre is that there are often lessons in the story. Lastly, there were a lot of pictures used in the books, along with a great use of color.
