<HTML>Dear Holly,

I have a son who is 12. He sometimes thinks I am mad. ALL mothers are mad. Sometimes. Perhaps you could talk to your mother about this book (which, by the way I talk about with MY 12 year-old son who also read it after I read it and couldn't stop talking about it), or failing that get her a pet as amazing as a Dodo. Make her a Dodo kit? Good luck with your mother.

<HTML>Thank you. I'm completely barking. Glad to have your support. She still thinks I am mad though, so no change there!!!</HTML>

<HTML>Holly- the only thing I can think of is to read the book and then ask her about anything you don't understand in it when she's reading it herself!</HTML>
