A 3-year-old child is going to use play to learn and discover the surrounding environment. Children at this age are egocentric and often are unable to see the world from any perspective other than their own. Very young children are not able to understand and comment on world events because their thinking has not advanced to abstract reasoning yet. A 3-year-old child is likely unable to read; lengthy is not appropriate.
