okay so the author of Alice in Wonderland was on drugs and some people reckon the movie has loads of references to drugs in it.

is there are other famous childrens books or films that have references to or are influenced by drugs?

What are some famous childrens books like green eggs and ham,corduroy,etc?
books in general, not just dr seuss

I am doing an English Language Investigation and I need to name some popular childrens books (any age) which can be read to children by adults. Any suggestions?

I am would be really grateful!!

I'd like to write scripts for movies and childrens books as well. How do I get an agent for this sort of thing? I know I can't just submit my ideas myself.

What childrens books can be read to a child by a adult but at the same time unstandable so that a child can read on their own to? It can be any age up to 4 years.

Thankyou!

In fact, a coworker JUST told me, as well. Does anyone know how I would go about that?
I don't even know how to write a formal book. I just goof off and fold some paper in half and write silly books for friends' kids and my nephews and nieces..... The only think I know how to do is write. I don't know how to make it look good. I can't even draw! I mean - I CANNNNNNNOT draw one bit. Even my stick figures are ugly.
Wow Sally - thanks for the vote of confidence! I always go into anything that I do with a positive mind frame. Sure, there are a lot of competitors out there - but if one is positive and creative enough, they focus on SUCCESS. I have actually achieved many goals in my life that I have set - so if I decide to get serious about writing a children’s book, I’ll be able to do it and I will succeed!
No, they don't march. I would definitely not take them very seriously if they 'marched' up to me. And yes - random people have told me to write children’s books. Many random people, in fact. I have written stories and poems for work functions, senior citizen homes, children's classes, etc. Every year I am volunteered to write our annual company Christmas Story (the place I work is large). Every comment I get (from these random people) has to deal with me writing CHILDRENS books. Never have I been told to write a romance novel or anything of that nature; which is why I even came here in the first place. I figure, if all these RANDOM people in my life have told me to write children's books, I must have some talent in that field.

And YES, I have some thick skin. Being an actress, I have been rejected plenty o' times! BUT - I ALWAYS received the roles I wanted most.

I've read a LOT about how to get started as an unknown author, but everything I've read is about novels. How about childrens' books. Specifically, illustrated/photo books?

so i'm a junior in college, and it dawned on me the other week that i want to illustrate childrens books for a living. i'm a fine arts major and i plan on going to grad school.
any advice on what i should go for at grad school or how i should go about being an illustrator?

It is hard to raise your children to be good communists in this decadent capitalist bourgeois country. They are indoctrinated with capitalist propaganda such as "free market is good" from Kindergarten. Does anyone know any good communist childrens books I can read to my kids to counteract this propaganda?

based on a 6th grade-ish level?

We're writing childrens books for my German clas.
Any ideas? please help, anything is much appreciated!
