Based on the stories I read, "Invisible Alligators", "The Journey of the Noble Gnarble", and "The Littlest Knight"children stories often follow various patterns. Children stories are notorious for their basic plot lines which exhibit the challenges of one major character. To appeal to the imagination of the respective audience, characters often tend to be animals or fictional figures, as they fascinate children.
Stories tend to present an opposition force, developing the conflict of the story. Rather it be lost pets or a mystery waiting to be resolved, stories are filled with problems the average 4-8 year old may face. These problems may also relay important morals/lessons; For example, Invisible Alligators by Hayes Roberts hints at important values such as treating others kindly. The resolution of children stories often end in favor of the protagonist, as the issue(s) the main character faced are overcome through faith, hard work, and the aid of friendship. Stories often leave youth with a happy, satisfactory feeling.
Children stories often are told in third person perspective, however, include dialogue. Instructions, character conquests, and plans are told from a narrator's point of view to avoid confusion. The character's dialogue often puts the plan(s) into action, or includes motivating phrases. The author of the story combines narration and dialogue to produce an easily understood composition.
Children Stories include generally happy themes, as problems are solved in pleasant ways. I believe these stories appeal to children as the happiness relates to the innocence of youth.
