[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yea, I actually got a bunch of my old childrens books and now read them to my son who is 3.5. Ping was one, I remember loving it, but it is pretty messed up! He still asks for it sometimes, but I try to keep it out of sight, out of mind.

I remember loving Ping. Read it to my 4 year old and he didn't even pick up on the hitting stuff. Which, to be honest, doesn't bother me (to read about -- I don't do it).

However, Riki Tiki Tembo is a hard no. DH brought it home from the library because it was one of his favorites as a child. I'd never read it. That one has definitely not aged well. Predictably, DS loved it. We read it a number of times since he liked it so much and then when it came due from the library, we returned it and told him the library only lets us have a book once. "Sorry!"

I remember absolutely loving The Trumpet of the Swan but I think I was a bit older when I read it, maybe 6 or 7, so I haven't checked it out for my kids yet ...[/quote]
