I don't know that he's reading any fiction right now. I think programming books would definitely put me to sleep! I keep forgetting about Babar -- we don't own any (and Gus has been less into going to the library lately, sad for me!). But we should get some Babar because I'm sure he would like it. With a Max and an Alexander you have a million books to choose from if you want books with their names! We have a fun book called Gus and Button (by the Play with Your Food guy with the crazy Scandinavian name). But we also have a book called Gus was a Friendly Ghost which I remembered fondly from my childhood (it has a bright purple cover!) but on current reading has turned out to be kind of lame. Wow, now that this daily posting thing is over I actually have time to comment! :) Yes, Lisa guessed it, I just checked J’s desk and it is Programming Ruby.

Well, it sounds as though it might be good for putting people to sleep. OH. Well, it sounds as though it might be good for putting people to sleep.

We like the Pandora's Box one (even with the happy but still...a little disconcerting, check the expression on Ruby's face...ending!) Have not read that particular Viorst book but we ALL love the terrible horrible one. Everyone does! Universal theme! That carpool thing *is* funny/scary/dated, as is the office equipment and dad's 70s moustache. Contrary to our love of that book, we named Alexander after Babar's child (Max's idea).
