As an adult who spends a lot of time with books, I too enjoy all the
"extra" material at the beginning or ending of a book ... in fact, I usually read it all first, down to the t.p. verso and the jacket designer. However, I never read ANY of it when I was a child, and I always feel disappointed when good information is included in an
"introduction" or "afterword" in a children's book --as appropriate as its placement may be-- because I know this information is likely to be missed by the intended audience.
