My granddaughter is devouring the Chronicles of Narnia after seeing the movie. I read the series out loud to my kids last year. They loved it. DVD comes out today, BTW.

Chronicles of Narnia
I hate to seem out of touch, I have heard a lot about this series. Is it good reading for children? I had assumed it was about witchcraft ans such stuff.

Could I just say something else about Narnia for my own personal gratification? When I was in high school and in my early Air Force days, I was involved in theater. I acted, was a prop master on a couple of productions, and even wrote and directed a vignette. But I never had a moment as proud as an "actor" as when my son heard that the first actor doing Aslan's voice had backed out of the production, and he said, "You should call them, Dad. You sound just like Aslan should." I had a big grin on my face the rest off the day...I'm easily amused.
When you read Narnia, you definitely have to "do" all the voices...but it's all about Aslan, baby.

We listened to the entire series that was done by Focus on the Family. The kids loved it! We are going to go out and buy the DVD today.
