As a non-teacher parent I am heartened by both your insights and your approach. As I said, I am not a teacher but have a background in both libraries and comics and I'm currently hhomeschooling my 3rd grade son. He would traditionally be considered a "reluctant reader" in schools but has responded to more'visual'texts eagerly. I have many comics around the house and have compiled a list of great comics for beginner and emerging readers at http://www.x-librarian.com I love also that you have referenced Geronimo Stilton. This is a wonderful series for kids who are somewhat intimidated by books with pages and pages of prose, but it also gives them a feel of reading a big-book. My son was instantly drawn to Geronimo books and I love his sense of ethics and courage. I loved it so much I started a website at http://www.geronimo-stilton.com and its great to connect with kids all over the world that love the series. Sorry to write such a long comment (and sorry for the links-I don't mean to spam, just wanted to share!) but you really have touched on two of my loves! Thanks again Inger Hi Dianne
