The boys are really enjoying our latest read. What could be better than stories of men running around the woods, stealing money from rich people to help their friends and sticking it to people of power? This is why the tales of Robin Hood have been perpetual favorites of all kids. It is so much fun to be reading something to which the boys long for me to keep reading every night. This book takes old tales and updates them in language, while still being rather advanced, is still understandable. Another recommended read.

Another one for you to try out is "The Prince's Poison Cup" by R.C. Sproul. My parents bought it for Jake a few years ago and we've recently re-discovered it. It's only a one-nighter, but definitely a good one.

I'm excited for Corban to get a bit older so we can read books like this. We're still on "Good Night Moon", and loving every minute of it. What a privileged to read with my son whenever we can!
