, QUESTION 1
1. Would you consider this extract to be an example of
children’s literature? Why?
The extract is written in simple language, the main characters are children (Peter,
Susan, Edmund, and Lucy) who will be interesting to child readers. The events that

simple and easy to understand what is being said and therefore, children can be said

words used are easily understandable even by a lay reader. The use of descriptive
words used in the context simplifies the work so that young readers are easily able to
understand it without getting lost in the language used.
