It was first published in 1959, what a wonderful story. Anyone know of other outdoor type adventure books? That are appropiate for a child. Right now he is reading his grandpas "Pocket Watch Value and Description Guide" A real thick one too...geeeeesh. He and his papa spend lots of time taking apart and fixing old pocket watches. And wow to have to listen to what he has just read for the last hour makes my eyes cross But I listen patiently and ask questions. Suggestions? Thanks, Love and Blessings, Angel I probably should have put this in "parent" forum A mod can move it if you want too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
