I am sending off an Aptitude Test for children's literature and I am in need of some inspiration. I'd like to ask a favor of you... Could you ask your child one of these questions and let me know their answer? Q. #1: What kind/kinds of books do you like? Q. #2: If you could be an animal, what animal would you be? It must be in their own words. Though I have worked with children of various age groups over that last 10 years or so, I am trying to gain a better concept of age-specific ways of thinking (please indicate the age as well). Your participation is much appreciated. Thank you!

Q#2

Me: If you could be an animal, what kind would you be?

DS: a cat

Me: why?

DS: because they're cute and I would like to walk around like a cat. And why are you even typing this up? Who is this for? Who wants to know?

From a 6 year old...Q. #1: What kind/kinds of books do you like? All kinds of books. All of them. This one is about horse, because I like horses, because I've been riding on them last year. Q. #2: If you could be an animal, what animal would you be? A horse, or a zebra, or a fawn. Also a queen lion.

My daughter was 8 in December:

Q1:

Me-Hey Bailey, What kind of books do you like?

Her- Umm, Judy Blume but I do not like fairy tales. Why?

Me- Just wondering.

Q2:

Me- If you could be an animal, what would you be?

Her- A horse or a monkey.

Me- Why?

Her- A horse because if I was at a barn and there were people that were poor or in a wheel chair and hurt or something I could help them and let them ride me. A monkey because it would be fun to swing around on branches.
