What is it with famous people and writing childrens books. Lately it seems (to me anyway) that celebrities are writing childrens books in droves.

Maybe it's because they are too illiterate to write for adults?

:cD Maybe. But they probably don't "write" any of it anyway. Just use their name.

There's big money in Children's books. I used to be an independent children's bookseller, and picture books command a high price - just a few words on each page.

Plus, I think the numbers of adults buying books for themselves may have dwindled, whereas, they'll still buy for their children.

There's big money in Children's books

I had to write a short childrens book as part of a speech project in High School. There's a class in my HS that you can take called "Kids Coner" where the high shcoolers start a preschool and teach 16-18 preschoolers under the supervision of a trained instructor. We had to go read it to them. It's really difficult to write fiction and make it interesting and understandable to a four year old.
