the response of a literature scholar and one who has not forgotten what is like to be a child...
Love...for a child...is pure. It is without reservation. It is without the scars that come with maturation and experience.
That said, love does not lose its essence for those who understand it; for those whose hearts have not been hardended by negative experiences.
Love...for some...is every bit as pure and beautiful as it is for a child.
It just encompasses a bit more sympathy and forgiveness...

Love is the divine grease that keeps the wheels turning! Not infatuation or sex!
"Love is always patient and kind; love is never jealous; love is not boastful or conceited, 5it is never rude and never seeks its own advantage, it does not take offence or store up grievances. 6Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but finds its joy in the truth. 7It is always ready to make allowances, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes. 8Love never comes to an end. "(Bible quote)
Love in fact is incorporated in the way our own bodies work! Every body part gets what it needs a lot or a little at the time, no other body part begrudges what is given - for the whole to function this has to be so!
Human society has forgotten the social contract. This is why that organism is dying. To function it must love all its parts - the ecosystems that it needs to exist, the people poor or rich.
When the needy who are willing to function (not lazy) are not given that which they need, and when a worker cannot pay for his own rent with his pay, not to mention food, clothes, utilities - then the system is dying. And it is because of lack of love.
This is why God's paradise - the kingdom of God and his Christ - must replace by force all present day governments.

I think it's because love is something that all (or most) children understand. Even an infant can understand that feeling of warmth in its mother arms as she smiles down on it. The instinctual smile infants have is designed to elicit loving responses from those caring for it.
I often wonder if love is something real, or if it is something all made up. But then I can see it in the faces of my children, and I know that, while it is not an easy thing for adults to find, it is still a real entity in our world.

I believe Love is mentioned the most in childrens' stories because Love is by far the greatest gift we can give to anyone. There are many children out there who need to be taught how to love, sadly, because they have never received it. Unfortunately, those who have never received it, probably will not be given an opportunity to read a childrens' book either.
My belief.

Love is a very serious thing.
Love is God
love is self
Love is spouce
Love is mate.
love is Children
Love is pets
love is Life
So love is not a childs story. Love is a fact and emotional one however nothing less that a fact.
It has caused salvation and wars. It is jelious of other loves yet he is tollerant of all Loves.
Love is Agape, all encoumpousing
Love is Phillos, all family and friends
Love is Eros, sexaul by nature and very physical yet tender and kind.
(1Jo 4:7) Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

love is the stuff in children's stories..maybe because only at that age are our hearts and minds open enough to fully enjoy love. It sounds a little too cynical

Love is often described as being pure. Purity denotes innocence and vulnerabilty, and it is very rare in this day and age that adults open up to others to be innocent and vulnerable to anyone.
