A children's novel usually refers to a novel that mainly targets children. It aims to show the reader the story, provide character development and emotional expression, and attract the reader's interest through various means such as language, images, plots, and characters. Fairy tales were more focused on telling myths, legends, stories, and fables, which usually had fantasy and supernatural elements to attract children's imagination and curiosity. Therefore, it can be said that fairy tales belong to a type of children's novels, but the meaning of children's novels is broader, including not only traditional fairy tales but also other types of novels such as science fiction, reasoning, horror and so on.
