I am wondering if this is peculiar to gifteds or a boy thing? My 9-year-old son has been exploring fiction books, but he still comes back around to DK Eyewitness books and the like. He enjoyed reading the Magic Treehouse books but they are too easy for him now. He also prefers to watch shows that are knowledge-based--Mythbusters, Beakman's World, Animal Planet/Nova/NatGeo shows. My brother (definitely gifted) used to read encyclopedias back in the 80s. Any ideas on this? When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do. Walt Disney
