When writing a children’s book that is intended for them to learn from, such as an alphabet book to learn the alphabet, it is important to have a theme throughout the book. Having a theme keeps the theme constant throughout the book, making it easier on the child to understand. I chose animals as my alphabet learning theme because then the children can learn their alphabet while learning about different types of animal. This could be a good technique to get the children to ask their parents questions about different types of animals, which will start parent-child interaction. When writing a children’s book it is important to remember that children have a limited amount of knowledge, so an author should not incorporate things in their book that a child will not understand or cannot relate to
