Just a little space to talk about children’s/young adult books.
I have a son and am an avid reader, so i want to instill that love of books to him. Thought this could be a place to discuss some of those titles.
First off we have Ender’s Game. Great sci-fi and (with almost 0 editing by the parent) a great read for afternoon, post snack, relaxing time.
My favorite find however happened a few years ago. THE perfect bedtime book.
It has since become a 3 book series.
Peter and the Starcatchers. by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson
This book tells the story of the origin of Peter Pan. where Tinkerbell came from. How Peter can fly, and why he never ages. Lots of questions are answered and lots are left for the other books.
One of the best parts is the chapter length. It ranges from 15 pages to as little as half a page. Great for a chapter a night as a bedtime story, maybe extend it to two if the little one is antsy.
Anywho, thought id throw this into the ether and see if it, umm, knocks a patient unconcious for surgery?
