Last night I was driving two 10 year old boys to see the final Harry Potter movie. I was listening to them discuss the house elves, who had been (for the most part) a sub-plot left out of the movies. As I thought of 2 ten year old boys reading and discussing what they had read, I thought--"It just doesn't get any better than this." But then they went on to explain to the father of one (who hadn't read the books) how the elves deserved to be free, to explain the importance of Hermione's cause. And then I knew--"It doesn't get any better than this."
When young children want to read and discuss books, there is nothing better.
