I love that there is so much out there for girls! 4 year old C loves to be read to at any time and Little D is just starting to love books now.

Or maybe Tom Swift. It is interesting to hear that boys don't have any literary heros they can identify with. I remember the inner city kids I used to work with actually risking punishment to spend a few more minutes at Hogwarts. The Chronicles of Narnia, as well, have a couple of solid male leads, as does the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Of course, once they are made into movies, perhaps that defeats any good they would do as books. But this book does sound pretty cool. At just under two, the Twins aren't ready for it. But it gives me a reason to read something just for fun. The only thing better than Encyclopedia Brown is EB visiting the Hardy Boys!
