Disney Audio Book

Okay, before I explain, just know that my mother is SUPER weird. xD

I've seen all of the Harry Potter movies way more than once, and I decided that I wanted to read the books before the 6th movie comes out. So, I asked my mom if she would take me to the library or somewhere where I could buy them in paperback. She asked what book, and I told her, "Harry Potter."

"Aren't those books full of things like witch-craft? I don't want you reading it."

I said yes because I wanted to be honest. I tried to tell her that so is "The Sword and The Stone" which is a DISNEY movie. My favorite, actually. I went on telling her that it was something similar to Star Wars. There is the good side, and the dark side. She didn't argue with me there because the Star Wars episodes happen to be some of her favorite movies. I won that argument.

She never gave me an answer on whether or not she'd "allow" me to read them... I just need some help trying to convince her I won't join a freakin' cult if I do. (If I fail, I'll just listen to the audio books...like I am right now. xD) Help please?
My mom didn't want me to see twilight at first, either. But I did!
and I love all four of the books. So does my mother. She's reading Breaking Dawn for the 3rd time at the moment.

"Big words" are no problem for me. I have an extensive vocabulary, and I've always been able to read better than people four grades ahead of me. I'm a junior now, and not to boast, but I am smarter than most people TWICE my age.

I've been homeschooling since my sophomore year, so I don't have access to a library. (Without having to drive MILES to get to one...I can't get my license until I get a job, even though I'm 16.)

Oh, and I watch the movies at a friends house or when they come on TV. Recently, I found out that http:/www.stagevu.com has all of the movies uploaded, so i can watch them online. I never asked for permission to watch the movies. I just did. xD

I think I'll just bug her about all the Disney movies she let me watch when I was younger. The perfect "Slap in the face."

Thanks everyone! :D

I'm thinking she things of "witchcraft" as a bad thing. It's really not. They wave wands and do magic, just like in the movies. I don't really understand why she's let you watch the movies, but won't let you read the books.

Pull up some reviews of the books on amazon.com or bn.com and have her read them. Have her read summaries, too. If any of your other friends have read them, have them assure her that it *is* in fact just like Stars Wars in that it's a fight against evil, and the good guys are the main characters. Harry Potter is not cult-like at all, except for if you become *too* obsessed, but that's beside the point.

Actually, having *her* read the books (or one of them) might be a good solution. Tell her that if she reads one and decides that she *really* doesn't want you reading it, then you won't read it. I'm only saying this because reading the books for herself is the only way for her to dispel the little rumors and such going on in her head about the books.

Hope this helps. Good luck with this endeavour.

Edit: chess master and Blizzard, some parents are just like that. Respect the way that other families run.

Edit2: And Rick is right. There are many good themes to these novels. Among them are: Fame isn't everything, love and friendship make one stronger, diversity is a good thing, and it's better to be yourself.

Part 1 Of Disney's Pinocchio With The Book Included From The Read Along Series

i was phoned by grolier to receive some 2 free childrens books and 2 free audio CDs on the basis i have 2 other books and 2 other trial CDs on trial. Luckily the books on free trial were the better ones and the ones i was hoping to keep. The others were classics but i already have these but the longer story. So i phoned for them to send me the label i needed to affix on the parcel sent back. The label is prepaid. However the trial is only on a 7 day trial and i received the label one week later. Plus the date on the sent parcel to me was 2 weeks before i received it. Does this mean i will go over the 7 day trial. Have they done this so that i have to pay for the two books that were meant to be on trial as it will be impossible to get them back on time?
sorry i mean the ones that got to keep were the better ones.

The same thing happened to us when we ordered from Grolier. We sent the books back and never heard from them again.
Grolier can't physically take money from you so just send the books back, I doubt they will chase you up on a payment for goods that you no longer have. Well, they didn't with us and we were well beyond the trial period.

HAHA. I bet you bought it off ebay?

Winnie-the-Pooh, commonly shortened to Pooh Bear and once referred to as Edward Bear, is a fictional bear created by A. A. Milne. The character first appeared in book form in Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Milne also included several poems about Winnie-the-Pooh in the children’s poetry books When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. All four volumes were illustrated by E. H. Shepard.

The hyphens in the character's name were later dropped when The Walt Disney Company adapted the Pooh stories into a series of Winnie the Pooh featurettes that became one of the company's most successful franchises worldwide.

The Pooh stories have been translated into many languages, notably including Alexander Lenard's Latin translation, Winnie ille Pu, which was first published in 1958, and, in 1960, became the first foreign-language book to be featured on the New York Times Bestseller List, and is the only book in Latin ever to have been featured therein.

Milne named the character Winnie-the-Pooh after a teddy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne, who was the basis for the character Christopher Robin. His toys also lent their names to most of the other characters, except for Owl and Rabbit, who were probably based on real animals, and the Gopher character, who was added in the Disney version. Christopher Robin's toy bear is now on display at the Donnell Library Center Central Children's Room in New York.[1]
Harry Colebourne and Winnie 1914
Harry Colebourne and Winnie 1914

Christopher Milne had named his teddy after Winnipeg, a bear which he and his father often saw at London Zoo, and "Pooh", a swan they had met while on holiday. Winnipeg the Bear was purchased from a hunter for $20 by Canadian Lieutenant Harry Colebourn in White River, Ontario, Canada, while en-route to England during the First World War. He named the bear "Winnipeg" after his hometown in Winnipeg, Manitoba. "Winnie", as she became known, was surreptitiously brought to England with her owner, and gained unofficial recognition as a regimental mascot. Colebourn left Winnie at the London Zoo while he and his unit were in France; after the war she was officially donated to the zoo, as she had become a much loved attraction there. Among her many young fans was Christopher Milne, who named his own teddy bear "Winnie".[2] Pooh the swan appears as a character in its own right in When We Were Very Young.

In the first chapter of Winnie-the-Pooh, Milne offers this explanation of why Winnie-the-Pooh is often called simply "Pooh": "But his arms were so stiff ... they stayed up straight in the air for more than a week, and whenever a fly came and settled on his nose he had to blow it off. And I think - but I am not sure - that that is why he is always called Pooh."

The home of the Milnes, Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, England, was the basis for the setting of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories. The name of the fictional "Hundred Acre Wood" is reminiscent of the Five Hundred Acre Wood, which lies just outside Ashdown Forest and includes some of the locations mentioned in the book, such as the Enchanted Place.[3]

The origin of the Poohsticks game is at the footbridge across a tributary of the River Medway near Upper Hartfield, close to the Milne's home at Posingford Farm. It is traditional to play the game there using sticks gathered in nearby woodland. When the footbridge required replacement in recent times the engineer designed a new structure based closely on the drawings (by E H Shepherd) of the bridge in the original books, as the bridge did not originally appear as the artist drew it. There is an information board at the bridge which describes aspects of how to play the game.

Publication

Pooh first appeared in December 1925, when what became the first chapter of the book Winnie-the-Pooh was commissioned as a Christmas story by London's Evening News. The book was published in October 1926 by Methuen, the London publisher of Milne's earlier children's work When We Were Very Young.[4] The illustrator was E.H. Shepard, who had also drawn the pictures for the earlier book.
