It is great to see numbers supporting what a lot of teachers and
librarians already know--that young children either prefer nonfiction (they want
to find out more about the world we live in) or like it just as well as stories.
Yet, there are too many adults who think that kids just want stories. Kids like both, and we need to make sure that they have the option to choose the books they prefer.
