I read this book every year to my students. I do a week long lesson on it, reading it every day. For grad work, we are required to select a genre and then pick 3 books within that genre suitable for elementary, middle school, and high school. My choices: Where the Wild Things Are, The Lion the Witch & the Wardrobe, and Twilight. The obvious genre is fantasy. This was totally unplanned or perhaps built into my subconscious, but the 3 books I chose have all been made into movies. Coincidence? Probably not.... the very best fantasies intrigue us and have us begging for more. I love Where the Wild Things Are, and I greatly enjoyed your book review.

My little boy just turned 20 months. I feel like every minute I don't spend rolling around on the floor with him is wasted time.

He is only 9 months and already very ahaid of the game for his age. I have a very vivid imagination, something I take great pride in never loosing. In all honesty it is what keeps me sane. Books are the best thing to fuel the curiosity that we should all have. I would love to come home one day, see my kid playing and ask, "whatcha doin", and he would reply, "I am the king of the monsters, we are going on an adventure". And even better then that, if he would ask me to join him on this adventure. That would be awsome^^ Because of books, and more then anything now, role playing games, wether they be video or live action. I am not beyond getting down on all fours, or chasing my kid around because I am a dragon, or should I end up being his horse >.<, I hope my back can hold that kind of torture. But I do hope that my kid will be brought up questioning the boundries of his mind. Where does our ability to understand ourselves or for that matter, the universe end? Can it end? Can we surpass the limits of the human brain? I am nearing 30 years old and do not plan on limiting books at all to my kid. He is only 9 months and already very ahaid of the game for his age.
