Wife called to tell me our 4 yo daughter asked her, "Can we go to the library and do research on planets?"
That's great she knows she can research at the library. My 5 yo's standard line the past 3 years has been, "Can't you Google it?". - Anika
LOL. @Anika Malone your 5 yo knew about Google when s/he was a 2 yo? - Dave Lovely
We go to the library every week and I'm a big book person. That said, wife and daughter immediately looked up planets online. - AJ Kohn
@ Anika - sounds familiar - my (almost) 6 year old will look at me like I'm a complete tosser and say 'why don't you Google it' ... - Patrick Jordan
Dave, yes she did, which says a lot about how I respond to my husband's incessant questions. AJ, when my kid was younger, both of our local library branches were closed for renovations. Luckily, we lived in an area with 8 bookstores within walking distance. Unfortunately, she's only now grasping the concept of a library vs. a bookstore. Until a few months ago, she acted as if the words were interchangable. - Anika
Still not a bad thing though. Bookstore, library ... exposure to physical books, seeing all that literature, all those words ... it can only lead to good things. - AJ Kohn
Google Sky FTW, although I haven't shown my son yet, he's too busy watching Lego videos on YouTube :-) - Duncan Riley
@Duncan: Yup, wife and daughter came upon Google Sky. (And when I got home daughter was playing with Legos ... life is good!) - AJ Kohn
I was a library junkie as a kid. Made me the way I am today..... which may cause you to keep your kids well away from the library, but.... - Wirehead
