>>other frustration is a lack of interesting chapter books for little ones
>>who are still young enough to get scared by, well, scary topics,<<

I did a list of books before if you'd like to try the archives. Here are
some of the ones I can remember.

Charlottes'Web
Stuart Little
Mr. Popper's Penguins
Pippi Longstocking
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
The Magic Treehouse series
Flat Stanley
Invisible Stanley
The Indian in the Cupboard series

Also look at books by Beverly Cleary, Avi, Roald Dahl, and Judy Blume. Some
will be more appropriate at this age than others.

Happy reading.
~Mary

I listen to them *all* the time! Grade 9--unschoolers might like that!
Really captures the crazy feel of those school days.

Cacie and I saw them live, when she was 4 or so. It was pretty funny to
hear her telling everyone about it later...

My dh does that part in the song!
It either freaks people out, or makes them laugh.
He also does Hello City and Pinch Me.

In addition to Pippi Longstocking, ANYTHING by Astrid Lindgren is fabulous.
Ronia the Robber's Daughter remains a great favourite of mine. It's
beautiful. Also, besides The Indian in the Cupboard books, Lynn Reid Banks
has written a great many other wonderful books - The Fairy Rebel, I Houdini,
the Magic Hare, and more.

I'm not familiar with all of these, but I know Over to You, Someone Like
You, Kiss Kiss, Switch Bitch, and My Uncle Oswald are for grown-ups. Boy
and Going Solo are autobiographical. They're great.

Besides his zillions of books, I just looked on IMDb and found several
listings for film and television:

http://us.imdb.com/Name?Dahl,+Roald

Including Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang and apparently some episodes of Alfred
Hitchcock Presents.
