Children's books are written for 2 purposes, either to teach a moral or lesson, or to teach an academic skill.
If you are going to write a traditional narrative, such as a fairytale, you need to deccide the moral. Then you need a villain and a hero.
If you are going to write to teach an academic skill, decide what you are going to teach first, such as what Eric Carle's stories, teach Days of the Week, furits, etc.
Decide what audience you are writing for, is it very young chidren, elementary aged children or older.
Then read some children's lit, go to Border's have coffee and readd for a while.
If you are writing for a young audience you need minimal language on the page, and very colorful illustrations. If you are not articistic you will need an artist.

first u need to think of an age group and what u want to write about e,g self help like toileting and hygiene. Kid love books that they can interact with such as lift the flap and touch and feel books have a think about what sort of book u want to write first and give us more details

You can't just love "at least some [childern]" and expect to be able to write a childrens book you moron. Learn and remember this phrase "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND"! I hope you fail miserably. How awful you think that way, no child deserves not to be liked, all childern are wonderful. I hope you didn't really mean what you said!!!

childrens books are best when repetitave and so the kids will begin to learn things and perhaps get involved when reading the books

just think of a characther and idea and develop it. consider what age group you want to write for and try to write something that hasn't been overdone, good luck
