warning
Some of the chats may ruin the endings on these stories, just so you know . . .

The picture is used with permission from Kodiak. His page of Hanson artwork and other stuff, Kodiak's Room (formerly Middle of Nowhere) was chosen by the band as their favorite website in the first issue of MOE. Although all three boys discuss the books, the artist chose Taylor for this cartoon.

note
The idea for these book groups comes from a variety of sources. It began when my good friend Betsy offered to let me read her paper on book groups for a graduate education class. I thought it was such a fun idea for students to be able to discuss books they've read together. Since the Hansons are home-schooled I imagined them having their chats among each other. One of my internet buddies who read the script before it was posted (who I might add is a proud Wishbone fan as well :-D), generously compared this idea to that fine PBS show. These book chats are purely imaginary, but I hope you enjoy them and maybe you might pick up one or two things about these fine pieces of literature too.
