The Reptile Room

I find these books really funny!

What strikes me most about these books is how clueless the adults are and how they don't take children seriously. They trust adults just because they are adults, even if they say stupid and nonsensical things.

And this book makes me question a lot. Could it be that when we become adults we ignore children's common sense so much? We think that just because we are adults we are right. It's an interesting concept and one that is very well represented in this book.

Basically, if adults would stop and listen to children, none of what happens in the book would happen.
