I personally love writing so I have an interest in writing for children s TV shows. After reading this guide I had a completely different perspective on screenwriting for children. There is a lot of elements that writers have to take into account. For example: You have to put yourself into the perspective of a child. This might seem like an impossible task but Motti Aviram (the author) does a really excellent job of describing some effective techniques that you can use. Overall I think all writers can get some value out of this guide. If you want to pursue a career in writing for children this guide is a must buy.”, Steven Holt April 13, 2015

“A tell all of behind the scenes and more.There is so much to learn about what it takes to become a screen writer for children’s films and television. I didn’t realize all of the involvement that goes on behind the scenes. From the psychological stand point, to how shows come into being, and the way they are produced. There is just so much planning involved, this book is very thorough and goes through every detail. There was one point in the book where it mentioned Dora The Explorer. I think they could have also brought up that the show helped children learn Spanish and diversity as well. It’s pretty fascinating how everything comes together for these shows.”, Brenda McCracken March 21, 2015

“If you have plans in this direction, read this book first. Please. I absolutely loved this book. The most important piece of information I gained was that children really don’t mind being educated. Also that their lives are focused on learning all the time- learning how to make their way in the world, become more knowledgeable about their world and make sense of the society they’re born into. Until I read that, I felt kids were just dying to be entertained without constantly being educated. Big, big newsflash for me. This book is thorough and entertaining with useful examples from the author’s own vast experience. I have also realized I need to work with a team in future. At the moment my story is just a concept, but a book is next and eventually a screenplay… series and on and on. Everything in this book is useful and I know I’ll return to it time and time again.”, S. Q. Meyer May 5, 2015
