Entertainment / Literature / Juvenile: Publishers use the term juvenile or children's literature to designate books suitable for children, though Joseph Shipley reminds us these are 'not necessarily childish books' (345). Typically the main character is either a child or a character with which a child can identify, the themes are aimed at children (and often didactic in nature), and the vocabulary or sentence structure is simple enough for young readers to grasp readily. Samples include Rudyard Kipling's Kim, Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer, L. M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables, and R. L. Stevenson's Robinson Crusoe.
