In a 1969 Paris Review interview excerpted by Maria Popova, the author of Charlotte's Web said that children "are the most attentive, curious, eager, observant, sensitive, quick, and generally congenial readers on earth. They accept, almost without question, anything you present them with, as long as it is presented honestly, fearlessly, and clearly." Even when there's a talking mouse (Stuart Little) or a friendship between a spider and a pig (Charlotte's Web).
