Sometimes a writer will use a limited omniscient point of view. This style chooses to view the action through the eyes of one character, sometimes even several characters and to report that characters thoughts. This style was used by Laura Ingalls Wilder in her Little House books. When using the objective point of view the writer does not enter the minds of the characters at all. The action does all the talking as the drama unfolds.
Characters reveal themselves through their dialogue.
This point of view draws on the readers imagination and prior knowledge. The writer is responsible to describe and report action so a child can understand the story. An example of this point of view would be Allan W. Eckert's Incident at Hawk's Hill . Actions are observed, but thoughts are not known to the reader. Point of view is an important literary element when writing for children.
