Static Shock Chapter Books
I love me some comic books, and I encourage my son to read them as well. That said, I’d like him to expand his horizons a bit.
Not that he doesn’t read enough. He reads constantly. But a lot of it is comic books, and the same ones over and over again.

The store was surprised as well – they said they would have more copies by the afternoon.

From the free ebook collection of Project Gutenberg, a 1912 book about children’s health:
It is most important that children should eat a good big breakfast. All the hundred-and-one things that you are going to do during the day–racing, jumping, shouting, studying–require strength to do; and that strength can be got only out of the power in your food, which is really, you remember, the sunlight stored up in it.
Sometimes, when you come down in the morning, especially if you haven’t had the windows of your bedroom well open so as to get plenty of air during the night, you may feel that you are not very hungry for breakfast. Or perhaps, if you have risen late, or are in a great hurry to get to school in time, you just swallow a cup of coffee or tea, and a cracker or a little piece of bread, or a small saucer of cereal…
