What are some good ideas for a children's book?

Answer 1

I am trying to be an author as well, and good ideas are hard to come by- understood. I will share some of my past ideas that I have given up on, but that you might take something from, so that they don't go to waste.

Try a book about a girl who is tired in the sweltering heat of summer. Her mother gives her a penny and tells her to take it to the elderly Ms. Jones only a block over. The girl gives a penny, and the old lady tells a story for her being one of the worlds best story tellers. You can invent the rest, being an author, your creative juices have to be flowing!

I hope that your book has as much success as you hope, I would support it all the way I am sure!

Answer 2

Any idea that is interesting enough to you will be a good idea. You cannot write a story or novel based on ideas that someone else invents - you won't be interested enough in the subject to be able to research and write anything that will actually sell. Plus, anonymous people on the internet have no idea how old you are, what your interests are, or how well you can write!

In order to write, you need a personal connection to the subject. Write about whatever you enjoy, or whatever you find interesting, and you will end up with your novel or story.

Here are some more suggestions from WikiAnswers contributors:

• Write about what you know. A good idea for a first novel is to write your own personal story. Everyone has at least one novel in them waiting to be written.
• Observe the world around you. Anything interesting can be an idea for a story or novel.
• Research. The more you know, the more ideas you will have.
• Read stories and books that other authors have written in your chosen genre. This way, you can see how other people do things.

Answer 3

Some ideas for a children's book could include a story about a magical creature on an adventure, a tale about friendship and teamwork among animals, a humorous story revolving around a mischievous character, or a book that teaches important life lessons in a fun and engaging way.
