Fiction/Non-Fiction
A fictional book can be pure imagination, or it can include a bit of reality. fictional book have many different genres such as adventure or mystery. A fictional book can be funny or seriouse,sad or happy. the beauty of a fictional book is that it can be anything you want it to be. fiction is usualy more populare with children than non-fiction. if you are interested in writting a fictional book you may want to read fictional books such as harry potter,dear canada, or any book by eva ibbostson.--Sunshine 12 13:37, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

When writing about an animal even in a fiction book you have to do your research about it because then it will be easier to write if you know more about what you are writing! Don't be afarid to ask for help too. --Skirtsz18 13:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, if you write false information about the animal, children will use that information later and find out that they are wrong. --Tigerpeach 13:58, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Language
language of a book depends on what type of book you are writting. if you are writting a non-fiction language should be more formal. fictional books language can more lose.some writers even make up words and younger children enjoy it.--Sunshine 12 13:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Genre
It is really important to include a genre because if not, the kids will be very clueless and consequently it will get the reader( a child) confused. Also, genre also helps to classify your story and to make it stand out. For example, if you are going to write a fantasy book, it must embed something from the realms of imagination, for example, a unicorn, some magic or magical creatures. But, even though it is in the genre of fantasty, there still must be some truth in the story like a human emotion or a moral, which will bump your story up a level.

 * I think the genre should be adventure because most kids llike books that are that genre.--Siar8 13:39, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * i agree because kids will get confused and they will know what they are about and i think that if kids know what they are reading they will understand what they are reading better.--Mexico9 13:41, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Mystery is an exciting genre many people have fun writing about. Some things you need to include when writing a mysery is a crime, supests, a at least one witness. Have fun writing!--Skirtsz18 13:38, 31 May 2007 (UTC) Adventure is also something that can be made up or true and it is what many kids are interested in. --Tigerpeach 13:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC) Mystery is something that children will want to keep reading because of cliff hangers and exciting moments. --Tigerpeach 13:48, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Many children love mystery books because of the bone chilling excitments! --Puppies12 13:54, 31 May 2007 (UTC)puppies12

Photos and Illustrations
Photos and illustrations can both be useful and harmful.Today, I'll be talking about the harmful and bad things about photos and illustrations. Well, if you add an photo or an illustration people could get confused and not get your point and then that would be a problem. I would want to find out if there is anyway I could add a photo or an illustration that would not confuse the reader.--Pendragonking 13:58, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Theme
There can be mulitiple theme in one book. Each theme links to one and another. Even though they are completely different, they all have something in common. For example, "Angel Square" one of the main theme/genre was mystery, but it lead to violence.--Moneybunny 13:45, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

multilingual books
I think we should translate the books in different langauges so people all around the world can read it. Writting in differnet langauges can help people understand the book who dont know how to read english or do but not very well. We should help others too.
