Pages Come Alive
I can still remember how proud I felt when Mikey read his first chapter book. Since then he’s read some pretty interesting stuff ranging from War of the Worlds to Old Yeller to any and all of the Eyewitness books. The Harry Potter Series is his current read and he’s almost done with, the third book, The Prisoner of Azkaban. A while back he was intimidated by the size of the books, but now he just doesn’t care. He just wants to read more, and more, and more!
There’s a new movie coming out with one of his favorite actors, Brendan Fraiser, called Inkheart. This movie looks so good! It’s all about the pages of books coming alive. For a boy of almost eleven who is constantly reading and imagining various parts of the story, this movie is surely bound to be a favorite.
Great storyline PLUS Brendan Fraiser; we can’t wait!

That’s a great capture of memories – He looks enthralled!
It is great when they go from plodding along, word after word, to devouring the pages as fast as they can turn them! Great picture!
Great capture!! should be a library poster. I loved HP and I can’t wait for the Inkheart movie (great books, too).
What a great picture! I love how you were able to capture that kind of a moment. Very cool.
“Inkheart”, by Cornelia Funke, is a great read itself. And there are two more books subsequent to “Inkheart” that make it, now, a trilogy. BTW, I LOVE the Harry Potter books.
I’m gonna tell Mikey that there are Inkheart books, too! He’s gonna be thrilled. But first he has 4 more HP books!
I am desperately hoping that Tyler discovers the world of books. We’re working on it. He just learned to read last semester– so, keep your fingers crossed for us!
He looks like he’s enjoying it !
How lovely to know that kids today can find books so captivating! Beautiful shot ;–)
Hugs and blessings,
I am just starting Inkheart myself! I tend to read anything that y elder gets into big time as she will talk about it ad nauseum…..
That is an AWESOME picture! ♥
Great shot! I saw the preview of the movie in the TV, it certainly looks very interesting. :)
Amazing photo!
I clicked through to the movie’s website and saw the preview, and it looks SO great! And I should get my hands on those books.. I love stories like that:)
Love the photo, so very exciting that he’s reading big books now.
my 6 year old is dying for Inkheart to come out this Friday!! We saw the movie storybook at the bookstore and had to buy it a month ago. Since then we have read it for bedtime story at least half of those days. She loves Brendan from The Mummy movies … and all mummies by association. She is still struggling with learning to read, but we will get there. Congrats on inspiring your son to love books!!
