[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 115016, member: 1991"] "She can be scared of something in the beginning and then once she has grasped the story line she is OK" difficult child is like that. Animé seems to have helped him. There are some gentle stories. He's a bit older, at nearly 14. easy child 2/difficult child 2 is trying to get him to watch "Fruits Basket". We used to have an Animalia frieze on the wall (same as the book, but in mural form). We stuck it up in the hallway, the kids would huddle over it and look for the hidden bits, then they did the puzzle (last page). "Find Graeme" was the first game they played with it. She likes the lion - how is she with "Lion, Witch and Wardrobe"? Or would it be too much for her? There was a BBC made-for-TV series, should be available. Not quite as graphic as the recent film but still very well done. A line from CS Lewis that might help you: (about Aslan) "He's not a tame lion." And my favourite Discworld books - there are picture book versions, comic book versions and children's books (although until they come out in comic book version, they are for older, pre-teen GOOD readers and later). That is also fantasy, but fantasy satire. Sometimes it's subtle but it's a good segue into satire at a gentle level. You would love it. Two cartoons also made (series) - "Wyrd Sisters" and "Soul Music". The first is slinging off at Shakespeare, the second is full of Elvis stuff. No lions anywhere in them. Trolls and dwarves, though. And GOOD witches, and a bad king (in the first one). It's got to be so worrying for you, when she's all over the place like this. Marg [/QUOTE]
