Hatchet! Wonderful.

We also give a book in each child's Easter basket. This year we gave:

12yo: Chesterton, "The Innocence of Father Brown"

9 yo: McInerny, "The Quest for Clodus's Collectibles" (this is a Christmas story, but it's the only one in the series our son didn't already have!)

6 yo: Dr. Seuss, "Marvin K. Mooney, Will You Please Go Now?"

4 yo: Dr. Seuss, "In a People House."

I'd love to hear what others gave, if they gave books!

I remember reading Hatchet at school as a young teen! It's such a visceral book, like a pre-cursor to Bear Grylls.

Geology Rocks podcast sounds great too

This is my favorite post of yours, Catherine! It's so fun to see what y'all are using across the pond. I'm going to figure out how / where we can stream that BBC Madagascar program. My children would love that. I have to agree with you, there is something about David Attenborough, haha!
