Peter Pan

We read 2 chapters tonight and the language is WAY too advanced (and way too British) for my five-year-old. He is pretty interested in the idea of a boy who never grows up, however, and I am hoping that once it moves past the parents' stories that the adventure with Peter and the lost boys will maintain Charlie's interest. Because I really, really like this and this edition is absolutely gorgeous.

I have never read the real book before this, but I did know the famous first line of it (“All children, except one, grow up.”) Reading this first line and opening chapter as an adult and a parent was simultaneously heartwrenching and thrilling.
