X, I've noticed that my children don't read that much (poor example). Lately the twins have petitioned for a new Nintendo 64 console (they have Playstation). I told them that if they read 10 quality books each I will buy it for them. Yes, it is a bribe but its an incentive to read. I told them that the books must not be movie or Nickelodeon type books. I also do not want them reading Animorph or Goosebump type books that seem to be very T.V. series like.I suggested that they ask the librarian for a decent book. What would you recommend for 10 year old boys that have not been big readers? Thanks, Tom

They liked the Iron Giant too. I had trouble getting into it. I watched the Iron Giant get electrocuted and the boy shut the electric off at the beginning. I could have seen the Star Wars release for the 4th time. I decided to see the other one.
