We are now through four chapters of Heinlein's The Rolling Stones. Katie is finding it greatly amusing, although she is occasionally annoyed at Heinlein "picking on" things like automobiles.

I am waiting until she finds out about the flat cats. :)

I was confused since I didn't recognise the title - it appears that it was published in the UK as "Space Family Stone" which I have read.

On the subject of books for Katie, David Weber's "A Beautiful Friendship" and the sequels "Fire Season" and "Treecat Wars" co-written with Jane Lindskold might be of interest.

Also the line, "I'm a doctor, not a fortune-teller!" (Has Katie seen ST:TOS?)

Expectations change as the art advances. TOS was the best thing ever when I was Katie's age and now I find it unwatchable. I can't imagine a kid today being willing to sit through 10 minutes or the first scene with special effects.

The Rolling Stones was my favorite of the Heinlein juveniles when I was a young fan. I sort of wonder how it would hold up today, but my pile of books I've never read is too high.
