What age are you looking to target?

Under 4 I'd keep the lines short, words small, and a consistent rhyming theme.

A 4-5 word title with a rhyme is a great idea for that age. (Something like "A Box Full of Socks", my son loves "Mo in the Snow"). Even if it doesn't rhyme, short is best (he loves when my wife reads him "Kiss it Better").

Words that a toddler can say are also a good idea, as he'll repeat short rhyming sentences when I read them to him.


If you're thinking of an age group of say 10-12 year olds? I dunno, small words, easy plot, something about a disenfranchised hero, and overcoming all the odds to save humanity.
