Worth a read, if one wants to see what our children are thinking and a delight to the children as they can identify themselves.But not all are stories, as according to me an story has a beginning and end, they are ruminations of the children, may be about their pet, their dreams or wishes .Children should read and write something with a message..or moral..because this is the age when they form values which go all the way in their life
