“Unlock the Secrets of Literary Mastery: Discover How Perrine’s Sound and Sense Transforms Your Writing!”
The words childlike and childish both mean “characteristic of a child,” but childlike suggests meekness, innocence, and wide-eyed wonder, while childish suggests pettiness, willfulness, and temper tantrums. (p. 41)
