These fictional places are crucial as they often serve as the backdrop for the story's adventures. Take Neverland in 'Peter Pan'. Without Neverland, the story of Peter, Wendy and the pirates would lose its charm. It's a place that represents freedom and eternal childhood.

Hogwarts in the 'Harry Potter' series, for instance, teaches about friendship, courage and the battle between good and evil while also being a place full of magic like the moving staircases and the Sorting Hat. They are an essential part of what makes children's books so engaging and memorable.
They are great for sparking imagination. In a fictional book, children can be taken to different worlds, like the magical world in 'Peter Pan'. This helps them think creatively.
