Your answer probably depends on the age and skill level of the child. I hope kids try to read both Harry Potter and Anna Karenina, not chose between them!

When Harry Potter replaced Anna

Hello kids! You want a story? Do you want me to read it for you? Great, kids. Take your pacifiers out of your mouths and come sit on my lap. How old did you say you are? 14? You’re such big kids! What, you’re in junior high already? You’re not even kids?

Doesn’t matter. The Israeli Education Ministry thinks that it would be best for you if we read you a story in class – something easy, you know, Harry Potter, The Princess Diaries, stuff like that. In the next stage, I assume, immediately after the reading session, the ministry would recommend to breastfeed you, change your diaper, and proceed with your afternoon nap.
