Obviously, he is displeased.

A rapid fire BB gun is more his cup of tea.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

I give my boys books at every possible occasion, and while they generally never seem terribly enthusiastic when they open them, it never fails that before the day is over, we are curled up on one of the couches reading the new book. Maybe this kid's attitude will change. Heck, he looks barely 4.

This year I'm giving the 7-year-old the first Harry Potter. He's been bugging me for months to start reading it too him -- I'm so excited to finally start!

I got a $50 B&N gift card for my birthday (last week). I've been a voracious reader most of my life.

Not only did I get Harry Potter specific hugs and kisses, we read the first chapter before Christmas dinner, the second chapter at bedtime, and the third this morning!
