OUr group is a little older than kiddo- they are 10-12 yrs old with about half going into 7th grade this year. They studied Greek Mythology in 6th, so they were REALLY into it! I read it aloud to my 10 yr old (the 11 yr old read it by herself) and she loved it, but I felt the way you did. Very predictable. <br /><br />The kiddo video is so adorable!LisaMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530087423961700607noreply@blogger.com
