This is what's stacked beside the bed of the son who I was concerned about because he was nine years old and still not really reading. But then he suddenly went from struggling with Frog and Toad to almost overnight wanting to read Black Beauty and Treasure Island (he read and re-read both of those books many times!) Now, four years later, he asks his older brother, "What should I read?" He's become interested in the Battle of Trafalgar and Lord Nelson, so some of these books are library books about ships and sailing.
Here he is a couple of months ago after his first violin concert.
