...and while we are discussing books, I wanted to plug The Hobbit. Are you excited about the release of The Hobbit on December 14th? We're ready to begin reading The Hobbit together at our house. I'm not sure the kiddos, brother in particular, will see the movie, but maybe!
We've learned to take him to a movie theatre near a library. That way if he and I need to leave, we can get our money back and go have fun reading books, while the others finish the film.
Recommending, The Annotated Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.
