9. This stood out to me one page 381, Hilliard talks about imagination being the key element to preparing and writing for children. It's important to have something creative that will appeal to children, and will help stimulate their minds.
I started to think about my younger days as a child, and the TV shows I used to watch. Something like Barney seems less creative then something like Spongebob Squarepants. A big talking purple dinosaur, or as the theme song goes sponge who livesin a pineapple under the sea. Though, Spongebob Squarepants is less educational. Sure, Spongebob will show you how to catch jellyfish and make burgers, but Barney showed you how to count, read, tie your shoes, things for kids who aspire for more then being a friecook. This was important to me to realize because when you can step back and see how the little things are evolving, that's when you can really step back and see the times evolving.
