What are the main reasons why adult readers approach children’s literature?

Children's literature has its own special service target and reader group, which is children. Children's readers are the first and most basic readers and recipients of children's literature, but children's literature often attracts adult readers as well. There are two main reasons for this:

In the family, the identity needs of parents, in schools, the professional needs of teachers; in the social production process of children's literature, the professional status needs of editors and critics; especially in the field of children's literature, because children do not yet have the The ability to appreciate works independently and directly requires the help and communication of adults such as parents and teachers.

Second, some adult readers have a sense of communication, tacit understanding and identification with children and children's literature in their reading nature and in the depths of their literary souls. This type of adult readers get rid of all kinds of utilitarian purposes and wariness outside of literature, and enter into a pure artistic exchange and dialogue with children's literature, relive the long-lost childhood dreams, and awaken the hidden feelings of childhood life. .

On the one hand, adult readers are participants in the production process of children's literature and art, and are also guides and helpers in the literary reading process of children's readers.
