He's right on the cusp of beginning reading - at the point where he alternates between teary frustration and pretending he <i>can</i> read. He spends more time than she ever did on his own looking at pictures, though I confess it's usually Batman, Transformers, and the like. (At our library, they recently took a lot of those little paperback books and put them in a bin that the kids can rummage through themselves, so the quality of the books he's selecting, at least from my perspective, has dropped considerably.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2028387888802028634.post-24600933703199056972009-11-29T23:40:23.234-04:002009-11-29T23:40:23.234-04:00Little Stuff's brothers had all the Where'...Little Stuff's brothers had all the Where's Aldo books.

I was quite unhappy when I recently picked one up in a bookstore and found captions. They were so charming without words.
