[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]http://www.amightygirl.com/books/fiction/fantasy-science-fiction This link has lots of great books for 10 year olds, including some others have already mentioned. [b]I censor which movies my 10 year old watches, I don't see why books would be any different.[/b] I know the "let them choose what they read" school of thought is powerful, but I took that to mean her Garfield and graphic novel obsession. When she's 12, I'll broaden her options, same for 14. But at 10, YA fiction with sex is out. [/quote] Because there's a difference between reading words on a page and seeing images on a large screen, with a soundtrack designed to manipulate emotion.[/quote] This - the images you conjure are likely not as lurid - because you don't know it - so you fill in the blanks or you skip over that part if you're reading - you can't block it out if it's on the big screen.[/quote]
