The topic came up today, when discussing politics, of "The Little Prince" - one of my all time favorite books. I love books that make you think. It reminded me of the glorious times I shared with my daughter before she was really reading on her own and even after she was reading until about the age of 10, where I read to her. It opened up all types of discussion about the world and how things worked and helped me to share my love of 'thinking' with her. So I thought I would start a list of some of the books that I read to her - I can add to this as more come to mind but here are a few that contributed to serious conversation about the world and how it worked. Of course we read fun books with little lasting meaning but this list is for the rest:

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupéry's
Animal Farm by George Orwell
The Forgotten Door by Alexander Key
The Silver Crown by Robert C. O'Brien
