Goodbye Hermione All Hail Queen Lucy

The Care for Niece, age 5 (correction: age 5 AND A Imperfect), has insisted that she is Hermione for about 2 being now. She has seen all the HP movies and loves the magic, loves Irritate, and, of course, wants to be Hermione. (We also had a HP pop up book that no longer pops up, and noticeably, this possess tie in is no longer ended, so acquaint with is unhappy in the hall.)As I wrote earlier period, we went to see The Lion, The Witch and the Garb together. She also went to see the contemporary HP. (Yes, I know it's PG13. No, I didn't crusade her.)The result: a jostle in heroines. Goodbye, Hermione.These days, DN announced that we may well just wail her by her real name like a week. Long-standing than that -- and other than at school -- she is Queen Lucy.At the bookstore the other day, we examined some of the different Narnia books that are departure. Traditionalist that I am, I would sustain preferred to buy the main books and turn aside the tie-ins and adaptations barren. We examined this easy on the eye read aloud broadcast, and she respected the drape, but was put off by all the words and flash pictures, so we more than up getting this picture book getting used to. I believed that each time she was older, we'd get the one with top-quality words.To go back a little: months ago, each time she was in full Irritate Potter love, I'd explained to her about the books and how books and movies are different; that books sustain top-quality in them than the movie. That it's 2 different versions of the exact story. (For the skin, my mother and sis joke and joke at how reckless I was about this address with DN.)So now to the delightful part: DN and my mother were reading the getting used to together, which is now properly DN's fondness book. Once upon a time it was over, she turned to my mother and explained, "but that's not the whole story. There's top-quality."My mother, theory DN alleged that the book had dead out parts of the movie, believed, "sometimes sound effects are in movies but not in books.""No," DN told her. "There's top-quality stuff in the books that establish has words. Gone I'm older, I can read that and find out all the unneeded stuff."I was over the moon to seize that. To begin with, I love that she loves movies, to the same degree I do. But I also love that she's gotten the letter that movies aren't a wallop for books, and that books sustain "unneeded stuff." She prior to realizes its not a competition: they make uniform each other. And I love that she remembered that trade about HP from a few months back and concrete it to Narnia.My lesson: be less fault-finding about such adaptations. The picture book counterfeit (tailored by Hiawyn Orem -- isn't that a gigantic name?) is a good story (and Pork Spaghetti named it one of the year's best.)
