A child’s mind is delicate. One wrong turn and it can come crashing down. I think this is why authors are so afraid to change anything about the way children’s books are supposed to work. They know it will only lead to confusion. To change an idea kids have imprinted into their brains is one of the most difficult things to do. Like telling a child who’s grown up knowing and loving Santa Clause that he doesn’t exist, they just wouldn’t believe you. To take away this “bad guy” these children have learned to recognize would be unbelievable. It’s all they know.
