Besides the obvious things that 7 year old boys like, you know- bikes, skateboards, hunting for snakes... fart jokes... He is really into "Arabian Nights" right now. We checked it out from the library on Thursday, and he LOVES the stories so far. Of course, I am reading it TO him (not him reading it himself) and I do have to stop every paragraph or so and explain what things are, like a yoke (as in what you put on an ox to hook up the plow). But, he really likes it.
He's also very into the "Choose your own adventure" books. THESE at least he can read to himself. His current obsession with motocross (spurred by the acquisition on his birthday of his very first dirt bike- Thanks grandma!) lead him to discover that there actually exists a "choose your own adventure" book all about MOTOCROSS. OMG- you can not IMAGINE the joy that inspired. :)
I love encouraging his love of reading. The more often HE reads, the more time I have to read. It's a win/win.
