That said, I have a kids book club and so far the books the moms have chosen have been a success.

I've read Gaiman's speech and I am a firm believer of letting kids choose, but I remember that when my son started choosing his own books (and most of them were comics or non-fic stuff), I did hesitate for a while and had an urge to push certain books towards him. But I stopped myself and let him choose. Now, although not all his books are to my taste, he seems to be experimenting with other books more. <br /><br />I just thought it was funny how there's still that urge to want to choose what they read for them, but you have to tell yourself to stop and give them that freedom.:)<br /><br />I hope you're well, by the way!fantaghiro23https://www.blogger.com/profile/16834003796589218555noreply@blogger.com
