goodbye/fun facts....national book week...Children’s books as we know them today have been around since the 18th century, with the earliest of the genre being educational books, books on conduct, and simple A.B.Cs.  the most celebrated of the pioneers in children’s literature is John Newbery, whose first book for the entertainment of children was “A Little Pretty Pocket-Book,” which is widely considered to be the first modern children’s book....which is why the authors of "the most distinguished contributions to American literature for children" can win The Newbery Award. Children have relatively short attention spans, and often do not enjoy reading. Children's Book Week presents a fun opportunity to get kids excited about books. A child who loves reading will have an enquiring mind, a vivid imagination, and great problem-solving skills.
