WRITING FOR CHILDREN

Adults read to their children and go with them to the cinema, so the best kind of
children’s book or film is one that interests in people of different ages. Better still, it

is a one that makes both children and adults laugh. It is not easy for writers to fulfil
this kind of goal, as what makes a child giggle at often conflicts with what makes
adults laugh. Children generally find physical humour amusing such as people be
dressed up in funny clothes doing funny things, animals that can talk. Adults
generally prefer more sophisticated humour that relies on the power of words. An
example of a film that has been achieved this balance is the hilarious Chicken Run
which was made by the same creators of the popular animated programme
Wallace and Gromit. With its likeable comic characters, clever jokes and fast
moving plot, it is a film that has the people of all ages laughing in their seats.
