In China , more and more parents believe the primary role of reading is to shape their children’s minds , not amuse them .

Sales of children’s literature have risen by double figures in most of the past ten years .   36   The richer parents are , the more they spend on children’s books .

Booksellers see a huge moneymaking opportunity .   37   Around half of the 100 best-selling books last year were for youngsters—a higher share than in Britain or America .

There is a growing variety of kinds . Picture books for under-fives have been taking off ; fiction for older teenagers is thriving . Unsurprisingly , given the huge emphasis in China that is placed on passing exams , many titles aim purely to teach facts . Parents like to buy non-fiction , even for children still learning to read . Some books—printed on paperboard and intended mainly for under-twos—aim to teach the Roman alphabet to kids .   38 

The moral is often laid on thick . One provincial publisher (state-owned , like all of them) has titled a six-volume set of nursery rhymes A Good Father is Better Than a Good Teacher .

  39   Paddington , a marmalade-loving bear from darkest Peru , is a model of thoughtfulness , modesty and self-discipline , states the recommendation on the cover of a translation of Michael Bond’s popular stories .

  40   They avoid books with naughty or playful children , or where youngsters outsmart their elders .

Cute animals vastly outnumber rebellious figures such as pirates .

Few books show siblings , aunts , uncles or cousins—relationships little understood by the young , thanks to the one-child policy .

A.      China’s publishers remain profoundly conservative .

B.      Reading books is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons .

C.     The number of children’s titles has more than tripled since 2005 .

D.     Most publishers of literature for adults now offer children’s titles too .

E.      Chinese-language versions of foreign classics often emphasize their moral worth .

F.      Book publishing for children generally has changed very significantly in the last few years .

G.     Volumes for children with titles such as How to be a Meteorologist and Superstars of Science do well .
