FULL TEXT PAGES: Writing Rhyme for Children by Christina VanGinkel May 23, 2005 Rhyme written for children can be a tough market to break into to, but there are specific things the writer can do to increase their chance of publication. Writing for children is a passion that many people have. How well they do it is a separate issue. Add writing in rhyme to the equation and the numbers take an even narrower path. It is a well-discussed subject among those that are both published in the genre of children's books and those aspiring to be published, on why most publishers do not like works in rhyme. While there are surely a select number of editors who do not like rhyme for one reason or another, I would speculate to say that what the editors dislike is bad rhyme. What is Bad Rhyme? "How hard can it be to rhyme?" you might ask, as most of us learned the basic skills to do it early in our primary educations? Rhyming two words may not be that difficult, but when you consider the fact that, the rhyme must come secondary to the story itself, that the storyline must be the most important aspect; rhyme can start to take a more difficult curve. The words must flow in a natural fashion. If they don’t, the story will never come to fruition. Forced Rhyme Beginners often have a story in mind and for whatever reason drives them; they want to merge the story into rhyme. The difficulty with this is the words often become forced just to make the rhyme work. The dilemma, forced rhyme itself never works. What exactly does it mean when an editor or critique partner tells you that your rhyme is forced? "Forced" is when just to make the pattern work, a word is placed out of its natural context within a sentence, just to make it rhyme with a previous line.

54. CBC Magazine: Perspectives Choosing Awardwinning Nonfiction writing for children Three Perspectives There are several awards now given for nonfiction writing for children. http://www.cbcbooks.org/cbcmagazine/perspectives/choosing_award-winning_nonfict.

SEARCH: Perspectives Choosing Award-winning Nonfiction Writing for Children: Three Perspectives "Imagination, invention, selection, language, form—these are just as important to the making of a good book of biography, history, or science as to the making of a piece of fiction," wrote Milton Meltzer in 1976. At the time that Meltzer's article, "Where Do All the Prizes Go? The Case for Nonfiction," appeared in the February 1976 issue of The Horn Book Magazine From Cover to Cover: Evaluating and Reviewing Children's Books (HarperCollins), author Kathleen T. Horning states: "Whatever their motivation for reading nonfiction, children deserve to have books of information that are accurate, engaging, and well written." Nonfiction awards help to identify the best of those "accurate, engaging, and well written" works of nonfiction for children. Here is a glimpse at how those award winners are chosen. * There are several awards now given for nonfiction writing for children. For further information about these and other nonfiction awards, the Council suggested asking your school or local children's librarian. Additional information can also be found on the Internet. The Washington Post -Children's Book Guild Award for Nonfiction Jewell Stoddard Chair , 2002 Award Committee TheWashington Post -Children's Book Guild Award for Nonfiction is granted each year to an "author or author/illustrator whose total body of work has contributed significantly to the quality of nonfiction for children." The Children's Book Guild is a sixty-five-year-old organization of authors and illustrators of at least two published works and a selection of members from the community of librarians and children's literature specialists of Washington, D. C. The Guild presented its first award to David Macaulay in 1977. In 1982

Next 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.
