Elessar78 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I've grown to hate children's books! I've read a lot of the same one's over and over for the past seven years. Get one that is fun to read for the parents too. Like Skippy Jon Jones—it's got fun rhyme and meter. The thing I hate about children's books is that they are written for "imaginary kids". Most don't use a normal syntax and pronouns. To make it clear for the "imaginary kid" they repeat the names to make sure it's clear who is speaking or who is doing the action. Makes sense. But it makes for an awful aloud read. I'd avoid all books based on tv characters (like Dora, or Diego). If it's for a girl, try to find one with a girl protagonist as there are not enough of those. My favorites are the Elephant and Pig Books and Rosie Revere Engineer series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to check his twitter all the time till he cheated on his wife. I just don't have the same respect for him anymore. I admit that in the beginning i thought it was pretty low, but honestly, there were rumours going around about both of them at one point. Could easily be that she was getting around, letting dudes hydro thunder her, and he sought revenge. Or vice versa. She always seemed kinda strange, anyway. At any rate, I feel bad for the kid. Growing up with your parents split up really sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty cool, at the same time...how do I pick out a book for a kid ? ( Wife is going to a baby shower ) "How To Eat Fried Worms" and "The Wednesday Witch" are personal favorites.

Unless he got a prenup, but even then he had to have paid out something. He should still have enough to live comfortably, he ain't starving. Reading on a tablet or kindle is a life saver. instead of lugging 4 different textbooks, just carry a tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can easily carry "the thing you're reading" until you finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I don't even remember all the books i read as a kid. Read a bit of Curious George, but overall wasnt real big on the kiddy stuff. I read books on science/space exploration and comics. Then there was sports related stuff, and by 10/11 I started reading wrestling mags, then by 12/13, titty mags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of chunkss of rocks and ice floating around there. The "aerodynamic" shape isn't exactly for fluid dynamics but to allow space debris to only strike glancing blows to the bodies of the ships. This is also why fortifications, at some point, were created with angled sides—like the basis for the pentagon. This is important because they don't fly with shields up.
