George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt + George and the Big Bang, by Lucy and Stephen Hawking

[nwhyte]

Second paragraph of third chapter of George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt: 'Don't worry!' said George's dad. 'I'll keep an eye on the house for you. Might tidy up the garden a bit.' He gave Eric a firm handshake, which made the scientist turn rather pale and rub his hand afterwards.

We really enjoyed the first two of those. There aren't many books that smallclanger and I have read together since he was 3 or 4 - he got too impatient with being read to if it wasn't Thomas the Tank Engine or Olga da Polga [stories he already knew, basically], and he didn't like reading aloud to me either. But when we got these out of the library I said "oh, I should read those after you" and he suggested we read them together. So we did. In silence, with hand signals for page turning, and earnest discussion afterwards. Pretty good for a 6-7yo. I don't think we ever realised there are more (5 now, I think).

One of my favourite reading memories. :)
