Lots of research can go into even a "simple" children's novel.
What kind of plants are in China? I don't know. Look it up.
What kind of animals are in a particular province in China? I don't know. Look it up.
How do you land a plane? I don't know. Look it up.
So, the next time you curl up with a children's novel. Appreciate that it is harder than it looks!
