Isn't it possible to read books differently as children? This is not to say there is not a shadow text, but rather that a child might construct it differently, read the book with a "resistent" attitude, such as Fetterly suggests?
I know of at least two children's book texts which could be read from either the child's point of view or an adult point of view: Margaret Wise Brown's Runaway Bunny and Goodnight Moon.
Is it possible that we are looking at children's books as adults rather than as children?
