It focuses on book clubs for 2nd- and 3rd- graders and their parents, with books such as Mr. Popper's Penguins (hence the title), Charlotte's Web and Babe. Highly recommended.

What an interesting idea, but we live in an area where the parents don't value education. This would be quite a difficult task to accomplish at the high school level, I think.

So few schools do that now. In fact, that's one of my favorite things about homeschooling - I generally read whatever is up next on Michelle's list right before she does. Or right as she begins. I will admit, I skipped Watership Down though. It wasn't a favorite 20 years ago and I thought it wouldn't be a favorite now. I did listen to the audio of Tales From Watership Down, to sort of remind me of the characters and the tone. I think “making” the parents read along with the kids at that age level is excellent.
