Love this! My oldest son’s friends used to call him the walking dictionary, so I guess he would be Dictionary Boy? I love your activity suggestions, too. Have you seen the game Timeline? We’ve been amazed discovering when things were invented. It’s rarely what we expect when we’re playing.

No, I haven’t seen the game – is it a good pick for a 16yr old as a Christmas present? Who still likes games, thank goodness! If you develop your D-Boy plot, lemme know!

Oh, wow! This one sounds like SO MUCH FUN! How can you not love a book full of super heroes like this? My library list is getting so long I won’t be able to leave… I’ll just have to move in 🙂 Love your idea of trivial pursuit! Thanks so much for sharing this one, Julie! 🙂

I have one or two question boys and three or four Little Miss Know it Alls. Might be fun to see if they can recognize themselves in story!

Sounds like another winner. No pressure, but every book I’ve gotten from your list recently has been a home run with Enzo. 🙂

So glad to hear Enzo has such good taste! May be a bit ‘wordy’ for him though. I was surprised to find a book definitely meant for slightly older children than what we had heard about at the conference.
