“A lot of times it's the child that sees something and not the grownup. I love that because, when readers get older, they start looking for the most important ideas in the story. They don't look at things in the same way anymore. Children haven't really learned to do that yet. They take all their great, intellectual skills, look at the full page, and appreciate all of the different things.” WayLooksChildrenImportantIdeasDifferentStoriesHavensReaderSkillsPagesIntellectualAppreciateDifferent ThingsGrownups Author:Jan Brett
“A book is something that young readers can experience on their own time. They decide when to turn the page. They'll put their arm right on the page so you can't turn it because they're not ready to go to the next page yet. They just want to look at it again, or they want to read the book over and over because they really enjoy setting the pace themselves.” WantLooksBookYoungTurnsNextEnjoyReadyArmsReaderPagesSettingSettingsPaceNot Ready Author:Jan Brett
