Childrens Book About Celebrities An Upcoming Bad Trend

By Sally Delacruz


There is a terrible trend that has quickly developed over the years. If you walk into any bookstore and go to the section for children you will never fail to find childrens book about celebrities. You will find a book by a comedian about holidays or by a certain rock star about friends. The parents never care how well the text is written. What matters is that it is on a celebrity they love.

Frequently it is the guardians and not the children who buy a particular read. Many kids are normally attracted to the stories they get in the copies and not the detail that they is by a superstar that their guardians see on the TV. The parents nevertheless care too much about this detail that they buy the books by people they have a high regard for rather than check the excellence of the writing.

Children often want books that have illustrations that inspire their imagination, stories that have an enlightening effect on them and good words that are fun to read. The parents should therefore stop buying their children based solely on the fact that they admire the celebrity that it is about. By doing that then they will stop denying their children the pleasure of reading good quality literature books.

The number of releases that a single publisher can have in a single year is limited. For this reason it is not good for the famous people to come and crowd the industry therefore denying the good writers a chance in the market. Some authors write very good literature but their work is never bought simply because they are not known. This is because many people judge these books based on the fact that they know the writer.

There are numerous authors who write books for children because this has been their passion for a significant amount of time. This job however is just an afterthought for many celebrity writers. This is why they will always end up writing content that is not good for the children to read. When a famous person approaches a publisher with their work, they will be more willing to publish it compared to the non-famous people because of the high sales they expect.

This problem has continued to grow rapidly because many people think that the books for kids are easy to write. They usually think that any person interested can write the books. It may be true that anyone can write but there are only a few people who know the right literature for youngsters. Getting this point is quite difficult.

When writing a book for children, every word should matter. The writers spend a lot of time editing the books so that they are fit to be sold to the children. Sometimes they even spend a whole week reviewing a single paragraph because the meaning will matter a lot.

Parents ought to hence make certain they buy reads that will have significant content for their offspring. Buying only the copies by the well-known individuals can have extreme consequences in the existence of their children.
