I'm still just so amazed that you can read HP to your kids. Mine just could not handle it. They just did not really get it at all. I'm sad now, because Maria picked up the Poetry for Young People book on Robert Louis Stephenson I have planned as part of our curriculum and read me three poems out of it this afternoon without a problem. She is going to end up wanting to read the HP books to herself!!

And I just don't know how to make time for all the books I want to read to them. I think HP just has to go on the back burner because...well, there was Peter Pan, and The Wizard of Oz and Charlie and Chocolate Factory and The House at Pooh Corner and and and .....I'm overwhelmed by books. I sometimes forget my children have a lifetime to read all these classics.
