Children's Book Series and Why They are So Popular With Kids

I've never been quite sure why, but I love children's books series, and it doesn't seem to matter if they are for young children or young adults. Now thanks to an article on Newsweek.com and an associated podcast on children's book series and why they are so popular with children, I'm beginning to understand. If you're remotely interested in reading or writing children or young adult books, you'll enjoy this article and the podcast. Give a look and a listen.
