When I was a child, I particularly liked animal stories.

That is one of the things I like about Jaq D. Hawkins' characters. Even the goblin who tries to be grouchy with the human he's befriended is at heart a kind soul, though he won't admit it. There is a lot of caring among the human characters that often extends to at least some of the fantasy creatures as well.amyv wrote: (would it also be too much to ask to have KIND characters, not sarcastic or rude).

Many of my own favourite children's books were about magical realms and supernatural goings on and I have no issues with them. But sometimes I wonder if children's literature has been taken over too much by spells and sorcery. Sometimes if you go into a bookshop and look at the children's section, it's practically impossible to find a book without these elements. I honestly believe that alongside them children should read books set in the real world, where the protagonists don't have any supernatural help solving problems. I'm really sorry if I've bored or offended anyone with these comments.
I thought I was the only one. But I think it is the age we live in: the children need an escape from the harsh realities.

I also want my kids to be able to relate though and be able to understand that their favorite character go through similar situations as them and for my kids to get a different perspective on how to handle things, and magic isn't going to fix their problems.
