*Defining children's literature:
1.Books written by children
2.Books written for children
3.Books chosen for children
4.Books chosen by children


Sometimes the success of a book for children prompts the author to continue the story in a sequel or to launch a series, such as L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz. 

Sometimes a series will outlive its author.

In my childhood, I have heard of a lovely song from new adventures of winnie the pooh.
Thus, i found its video on Utube!

 

Lyrics 
I gotta get up
I gotta get goin' 
I gonna see a friend of mine

(He's round and he's fuzzy, I love him because he's just...)

Pooh beah, Winnie the Pooh bear
Wherever you go, oh won't you take me please
Pooh bear, I know he's out there 
Rumbly tumbly
Climbin' a honey tree

Fun never ends for us, we're so adventurous 
'Least every now and again 
But when you're alone, and there's nobody home 
It's nice to be able
To count on a friend like

Pooh bear, Winnie the Pooh Bear
Wherever you go, oh won't you take me please
Pooh Bear, I gotta be the-e-ere
It's me and it's you 
My silly ol' Winnie the Pooooooooooh


According to the Wikipedia, Winnie wears red shirt.
I can confirm that, for i've taken photos of him during my trip in Tokyo Disney Land.

I do love Winnie because he is fury and friendly. 
He always so lovely that everyone can't be apart from him.


但是我在FaceBook的測驗上說:
(好,其實這個跟維尼不是同一部卡通)

Cognitive Abilities Test

The Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT, CAT) is a K–12 assessment designed to measure students’ learned reasoning abilities in the three areas most linked to academic success in school: Verbal, Quantitative and Nonverbal. Although its primary goal is to assess students’ reasoning abilities, CogAT can also provide predicted achievement scores when administered with The Iowa Tests.
The author of the test is Dr. David F. Lohman of the University of Iowa.
CogAT is also often used to help educators make student placement decisions, especially when selecting students for Gifted and Talented programs.
