Short books are usually read by littler kids. They don't care about classics. They don't know or are not good enough to read novels. So they just read the shorter boooks. They start off with short books and move on to longer books.
Reading has goods and bads.
There are novels, classics and shorter books. Littler kids read shorter books and sometimes novels. Older kids read more classics than littler people. By Melissa I think reading is cool because you take in a lot of information and try to figure out what it is saying or talking about. I know reading may seem dumb, but if you really like the book you have, your mom or dad will tell you to put it down it is time to go to sleep, they walk away and you turn on a flashlight and start reading.
