ok so i'm writing a story. Its about a little girl wo is very afraid of her dentist. She thinks that he is a murderer who wants to kill her mom and is very observant of what is going on. The truth is that his mom is having an affair with the dentist, but the story is told kind of scarily as if it is really a murder mystery. it would be more in depth and exciting in the real story, but what i'm wondering is:
should i write it from the point of view of the little girl who's only seven? or should it be from a narrator's point of view who talks about what the girl is thinking and stuff. It would be easier to make the writing better from a narrators point of view, but would it be more effective to write it from the little girl's perspective?

telling the story from the child's point of view, while remaining that the child is observant and quite intelligent for her age...but naive.

you can still write intelligently from the child's point of view, but making her observations wrong will be the showing of her age. Such as, she sees her mother and the dentist kissing and decribes it, making it clear to the reader that they were kissing, but her saying that she thinks he was attacking her. "I walked in to see his lips pressed upon his, her arms around his body, it was clear she needed help! He was attacking her, I was sure, she was merely struggling to get him off." or even have her find a note form the dentist to the mother have some suggestive metaphors and have the girl translate it as a death threat or soemthing. that is what I am talking about, intelligently writtern but naive.

this will make for an entertaining and cute story, you could reveal the affair in the ending when her mother explains it to her or somebody older says a key word and she pieces the puzzle together.

(Rating: 5) what else should i do? other than the note to add more funny misunderstandings?
