It comes from the title of a rather twee and moralistic nursery tale called The History of Goody Two-Shoes, which is thought to have been written by Oliver Goldsmith, and which was published in 1765 by John Newbery, one of the earliest London publishers of children’s stories. Goody owned only one shoe. When she was given a pair of them, she was so pleased that she showed them to everybody, saying “Two shoes”. The phrase now refers to a self-righteous, smugly virtuous person.

I read somewhere that children lately, even if they have parents who read to them regularly (every day or very nearly), have a hard time learning to read. The article I read specifically mentioned movie stories (like the book version of a disney film) as examples of "bad" books. The idea as I recall is that the ideas may have been suitable for children--and they were probably familiar with the story anyway from having seen the movie--but the words themselves, and perhaps the sentence structure, went way over their heads.\nSo for linguistic features of a good storybook, I'd say rhythm, rhyme, and easy words.

The author of The Giver is Lois Lowry.  It is set in an undisclosed time, but it is understood to be some time in the future in which society operates very differently.  People do not live with a traditional family, but rather a "family unit."  There is no love felt for these people with whom one lives, no emotions at all for anything really, but there is a mutual respect and understanding for one's "family."\n\nAt the age of 11 (if I remember correctly), boys and girls attend a ceremony at which they learn which trade they will be apprenticing.  The main character of The Giver is a young man who will take on a very special trade...\n\nAnd that is all I will say about that...except this one last thing: This is one of the best children's books I have ever read.  I teach fourth grade, and I recommend it to all of my students who have not yet read it.
