I forget how old your kidlet is.. but he hs read / listened to any Roald Dahl books?? It just hit me that he was the one author who made me fall in love with reading..
I was chatting with a friend.. so will copy and paste my messages to her here to save my arm!!!

Oooh, you can get "Revolting Recipes" in the US.. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0140378200/drbobsvirte00-20
Have the kidlets read any Roald Dahl (or been read to them)? They're such wonderful books for kids.. naughty in a very innocent kind of way! "The Twits" or "The BFG" for 7 - 9 year olds.. "Fantastic Mr Fox" for under that.. and "Danny, Champion of the World" for older.. Oh, and "
George's marvelous medicine" is about the 7 - 9 years.. Oh, and how could we forget "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" *GRINS*Like.. In The BFG (Big Friendly Giant), there is a whole chapter dedicated to f*rts (calls whizzpoppers), which are perfectly polite in the Giant World *g*
And in The Twits, Mr Twit has a beard that has left over bits of sardines and things in.. and he puts glue on the tree branches to catch birds to make bird pie (with the feet sticking out the top!)..
I think one of the highlights of my childhood was when one of the baddies in Fantastic Mr Fox picked a bogey, rolled it up and flicked it away *G*+++
I believe they're a must have for every young child *L*
Just some more ideas!
