Children of Dune (DVDs) and Sandworms of Dune (last book) are great.

Now you got me thinking about them too. I read ALL the books several times. My daughter was in 5th grade when I introduced her (very bright kid-Navy officer now) anyway she got in trouble from a teacher for reading them on recess.

That demanded a talk with the teacher and so I asked her what was better than my kid reading the Dune books? What would she have her do instead? She was embarrassed and could not answer... and my daughter never had another problem.

She also read the Hobbit trilogy that year.. with no problems from that teacher ever again. Both those series were stunning and I am glad she got into those before 6th grade!

Although I barely recall dialog like you do, you have brought up flashbacks. Thanks! Nice refreshing of great memories. Took my mind off of the bloatuluos bill.
Have a great week!!
