The Adams story will now be on ice, probably for a couple of years. It's simply too advanced for a 6-year-old, at least mine. The last few times, I noticed J was hardly paying attention while I read. I asked him if he wanted to stop and he affirmed. When I asked him what longer story we should read now, he suggested Warrior Cats, which we had begun but he had not wanted to continue about six months ago. It's a very straightforward, concrete story, and J was much more engaged than with Unten am Fluss. In fact, there's more than a little Adams influence in it. During some Minecraft play this morning, J wanted to construct a model of Thor's battle with Jörmungandr in the ocean.

See the resemblance? ;) 

I also introduced the lore of the Holy Grail, since the King Arthur audiobook is coming to an end with the Grail story. Here J is drawing Grails:
