What are the advantages of using Scout as a narrator?

The novel is told from a child's perspective. Children are a model of innocence, therefore, using Scout's voice calls much stronger attention to the character defects of the adults involved.  The world must therefore be explained through Scout in clear terms.  Most of the time, Scout's young age and ignorance point out serious flaws in the other Maycomb residents.  Her voice  also showcases Atticus's heroic qualities, Calpurnia's strength, Jem's loyalty, Dill's imagination, Boo Radley's mysteriousness, Tom Robinson's innocence, and the racist men's hatred.
