What can I say about The Hobbit? It’s a perfect book, and one of my comfort reads. When my brain is not ready to dive into the unfamiliar fictional world of a book I’ve never read, I can return to this adventure that I know so well.
Now I’m ready to share one of my favorite books with my adventure-loving kid, who already enjoys the 1977 Rankin/Bass animated Hobbit movie. While the movie is fun, I can’t wait for her to experience the depth of the book as we read it together over the coming weeks. I even got a lovely hardback illustrated edition for the purpose.
