The New Frontier

Big Reader

As you know, Michael can read anything, but as you might not know, his little brother is well on his way to being able to decipher any tome also. Last night, he read me a very difficult Dr. Suess book and an issue of the Batman Strikes. His rapid improvement has been striking. Although they can read many things on their own now, the boys still enjoy being read to on occasion.

This last week, I have been reading to them the landmark graphic novel "The New Frontier." It takes place in the days after WWII up until Kennedy gave his New Frontier speech. In fact, the final chapter is the speech. It was a good way to expose them to some of the history of that era.
