Post subject: GREAT BRAIN series- for boys? What age?
Archived from groups: rec>arts>books>childrens (more info?)
I've collected a set of used GREAT BRAIN books for my cousin and godchild,
a seven-year-old who excels at sports and loves playing soldier but
doesn't necessarily relish reading. I loved them at 10 years of age or
so, but I was 1) a girl and 2) a reader. Am I right in imagining boys
would like these books? At what age? I don't think I can count on the
parents to read them to him initially, and I don't live nearby...

Yes, he will love them, unless he is from Neptune.
Take your cassette player and tape some of the first book--as much as you
have time to do--and send it off with the books. Since the chapters are
pretty much vignettes, it won't be so critical if you don't finish the whole
thing (but the more, the better). Plus, age 7 is a little early to be
putting a non-reader label on the boy.

My son loved them starting in late first grade, but he is an advanced
reader. I'm sure most 7 YOs would enjoy them, but if he cannot read
them to himself, then doing as Kat suggesting -- taping it yourself
--isn't a bad idea. You don't think his parents would read them to
him? Shame.

You're welcome! This should get you a lot of "favorite aunt" points.
