To: television is just wrong

My granddaughter is devouring the Chronicles of Narnia after seeing the movie. She already read the series once.
Her parents don't care what she reads, as long as it is good literature! The family is big on Tolkien, too.

I read the series out loud to my kids last year. They loved it. DVD comes out today, BTW.

My daughter read those too. She went from in fifth grade, third grade reading level to in sixth grade a tenth grade reading level in 6 months. I am proud of her....

She overcame a difficult situation...

Mine too!! She is all about Narnia and I have been asked at LEAST 18 times today if I am going to go get it on DVD since it is released today. She's been asking since we left the movie theatres door after seeing it the third time, LOL.

She just finished Prince Caspian too. Has she read that yet? Tell her my daughter LOVED it as much as The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe.

My daughter tried to read Fellowship of the Ring last year in third grade. Couldn't quite wade through it. Of course, I don't care for Tolkien, much.
