I thought The Chronicles of Narnia was really awful when read aloud. It just doesn't have a good rhythm and sound, for some reason.
Ty, I've been reading the Rick Riordan books to Sidd Jr. -- the Lightning Thief, now on Sea of Monsters. He loves them.
It's certainly more modern than the Hobbit (which he also loved), but if the wee one is into that sort of thing he might enjoy it. I wouldn't read it to a kid who isn't in at least 3d grade, though -- not sure which of the Slothrops you're thinking about here.
