Thanks @wizardave.

The kids were a little thrown by the movie. So many differences, and it was their first old movie. They did like it though, although I think the book was preferred.

Green Eggs and Ham is wonderful reading practice. My favorite of the beginning readers is The Cat in the Hat. No kid can resist all that drama.

Your mom sounds like a lovely lady. It is such a great feeling hearing your child take off reading for the first time. :)
