var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Writing for Children Make 'Em Laugh Using Humor by Laura Backes [Children's Book Insider] 1744 was a good year for children's literature. John Newbery produced "A Little Pretty Pocket-Book," the first book written exclusively for children. It was also about this time that Mother Goose arrived on the scene with her now famous nursery rhymes. But these first examples of writing for children were more didactic than entertaining. They were based on adults' assumptions of what childhood should be like, and were meant educate or impart a moral lesson. Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, published in 1865, is often cited as the first example of nonsense in a children's book (though it contains plenty of morals), and Mark Twain's subtly humorous take on the nature of mankind caused his books to be banned in schools for many years. Fortunately, editors, parents and teachers have come to realize the importance of humor in children's literature (thanks largely to Dr. Seuss), and children's books in the last 45 years have reflected this change. Childhood is now seen as a stage of development in its own right, not just a training ground for adulthood. Books can make children dream, think, and laugh without having to teach them a lesson on every page. Child development experts generally break humor into four categories: physical humor; humor of situation; humor involving play of language; humor of character. The order of this grouping suggests that the first two categories are less sophisticated than the last two. But all four can be used in children's books for all ages. The most successful children's books lead the reader through the steps of the joke. It's the punch line that's important; the more subtle and sophisticated the joke, the older the reader.

For those who have asked and those who may, this collection of links for writers, researchers and the terminally curious is not, was never intended to be, and will never be the all-inclusive stash of every possible link fitting our slapdash criteria for what belongs here. We select sites with some consideration and thought for usefulness, depth, interest and je ne sais quoi and we try not to offer fifty different links to "manuscript submission." Sometimes we find a really cool site on a subject we already cover and mull over which link to keep and which to set free, sometimes we keep both and add a third. We lean toward linking to cool sites maintained by people we've met in the ether, but don't use a friend's site if there's a better site elsewhere. We don't link to just anybody and seldom link to commercial sites such as "Learn to Write in Five Days" or "We Will Publish Your Book" unless there is some no, make that a lot of free, useful content. We try to stay away from scammers and frauds; if you see links to what you think are questionable sites, drop us a line. We may or may not agree with you. Whether links are here or not is totally based on how we were feeling before our morning cup of espresso.

Author, Author Field Trip Trailhead Teacher's Resources Start Field Trip Author! Author!: A Module on Writing for Children By Cara Bafile The field trip accompanying this module introduces students to the writing process through the eyes of children's book authors. Children usually encounter the steps in the process of writing pre-writing, writing, revising, editing, and publishing at some point in their elementary experience, but they rarely apply that understanding to the work of real authors. The Web provides a unique opportunity for students to learn about how children's authors produce their books through sites created and maintained by these authors, their publishers, or fans. The opportunity to virtually "meet" real authors and find out how they view and engage in their craft offers an additional motivation for students to implement the process in their own work. On the field trip, students will study the steps of process writing. They will visit several children's authors' Web sites and answer questions such as:
