♕Children's literature
Only by reading thoughtfully a variety of stories, poems, biographies, and informational books for children does a student come to be acquainted with children’s literature. And by applying critical criteria to these works, the student comes to evaluate them. Being steeped in the literature, written for children, however, reminds us of their natures and their concerns, and helps us direct them toward pleasurable literary experiences, even to make of them lifetime readers. Setting standards for literature addressed to children and applying these standards to each selection sharpens students’ critical skills at the same time as it familiarizes them with what’s out there.

♕Fable
Fable is a literary genre: a succinct fictional story, in prose or verse, that features animals, legendary creatures, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature that are anthropomorphized (given human qualities, such as the ability to speak human language) and that illustrates or leads to a particular moral lesson (a "moral"), which may at the end be added explicitly as a pithy maxim.
♕fairy tales
A fairy tale is a type of short story that typically features folkloric fantasy characters, such as dwarves, elves, fairies, giants, gnomes, goblins, mermaids, trolls, unicorns, or witches, and usually magic or enchantments. Fairy tales may be distinguished from other folk narratives such as legends (which generally involve belief in the veracity of the events described) and explicitly moral tales, including beast fables. The term is mainly used for stories with origins in European tradition and, at least in recent centuries, mostly relates to children's literature.
