New Post--Learning from Children's Literature

The other night, my daughter and I sat up and watched Jamanji (sp)--You know, the movie with Robin Williams that didn't get very good ratings. Well, I decided the reviewers just didn't get it. It is a story about a horrible board game that once you start, you better finish or it will make your life miserable. It is a game that is almost impossible to win without help. Now, I ask you. Isn't that what life is all about? What have you learned from children's literature. What was your favorite story when you were young? Do you have a different perspective on it now?
