[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I see my job as introducing my son to the classics I loved, and they can choose the contemporaries themselves. So now my 10 year old is reading My Family and Other Animals, by Gerald Durrell. It's 1200+ lexile range, packed with lyrical descriptions and rich vocab... but it's hilarious as well! An account of a 5 year sojourn the author made as a young boy to the Greek island of Corfu, and the birth of his passion as a naturalist and animal collector. He went on to found his own zoo for conservation purposes in the 70s. The humor is in how he describes his quirky family and all the mishaps that happen to them. DS has also read The Hobbit, The Lost Prince, Tom Sawyer, The Longest Day, the Hounds of the Morrigan. All oldies but goodies. [/quote] Longest Day woman...is that you? You always have to drop that book title, don't you?[/quote]
