The Siddette has a little trouble focusing and concentrating. In contrast to her older brother, who would lay on the couch while I read to him even if the house was burning down (which, of course, could be a problem too). Reading a longer book to her is good for this, I think -- it has helped her to focus on a single story-line. But I don't have any great ideas for our next book.
Thoughts, please!

how old before Dahl's stories are right? Charlie and the Chocolate Factory/Matilda/James etc.? I think maybe a bit much for a 5 yo but maybe not.
