This chapter reminded me of some children I looked after at YWCA-RE. These certain group of boys would always talk about magical powers that they had and go on and on about science fiction topics. I was really amazed that they had such a wonderful imagination. This chapter and this experience with children reminded me that I do need a wide variety of books and ideas laid out in my classroom for my diverse students. No two students are going to love reading the same thing (while they might, but you get my point!!).
