I "ordered" the first Encyclopedia Brown book and The Phantom Tollbooth from the library and, as a special treat, went out and bought Half Magic (Edward Eager). He's proudly announced to me, he's on page 19!

Heh - little does he realize that I cleaned out some books off both kids bookshelves today *lol*  Gotta make room for these new, thicker books you know Smiley

His daddy gave him his childhood copy of Charlie and The Great Glass Elevator (the sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) which he read in a night and part of the next day - Hubby didn't believe the poor child and made me give him a Quiz on it *lol* Guess who got ALL the questions right Smiley

Charlie and the Glass elevator Smiley great fun Grin

there are some brilliantly animated cartoons that used to be shown on Channel 4 in the summer holidays, my brother recently bought the set on DVD. Genius. They must be american made because I think Tintin had an American accent (although I don't think any of the rest of the characters did).

Nope, I was wrong, that's a Canadian accent - which makes sense since the books were written in French, they probably animated it and did those in French but translated it to English for the 'other half' of Canada Smiley

It's really good. Mark just bought me the DVD boxed set myself as he saw it on a special offer Grin I think your son would love it. I remember watching it and loving it when I was about 12 but 9 should be fine Smiley
