Love Catwings, Rocky--aren't those books great?
So a quick funny story...
This was a multi-day process for me. After reading several people mention "Catwings," I went to my library website. Ordered the first book in the series to be put on hold. Got a confirmation email. Went to the library. Saw how slim the book was and decided to go find the author in the stacks and check out all of the books in the series. Brought all 4 books in the car when I went to pick up my dd6 from 1st grade today.
DD6: "Oh, catwings! (teacher at school) mentioned that."
Me: "Here, read it."
No more than 15 minutes pass.
DD6: "Done. Now can I please have my Calvin and Hobbes book from xxx (fellow carpooler). He won't give it to me!!"
Me: "Done? Did you read the whole thing?"
DD6: "Mom! OF course! It's only 40 pages."
Me: "Did you like it?"
DD6: "Yeah."
Me: "Do you want the next one?"
DD6: "Not now. So will you make him give me Calvin and Hobbes??"
Now I still appreciate the recommendation and I have a feeling dd will read the other 3 books in the next day or so. But isn't this true of so many things? I complete 8 steps to bring her something I'm hoping she will like and she eats it up in a nanosecond. And then goes back to doing what she likes. These kids aren't easy, are they...
