I love to read.  I mean I LOVE to read.  Fat juicy novels, picture books, fantasy, history, science fiction, and middle grade- oh especially middle grade.  Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, I am Jack, and The Chronicles of Narnia. . . I love them so much!  So when my daughter was born I dreamed about sharing their words and their worlds with her.  But-- She's ADHD.  She's a body-kinesthetic learner. She's highly visual.  She doesn't like to read.  Some days, she hates it.  I had never even imagined the possibility.  Out went all my plans for homeschooling using great books and living books.  There went the classical, literature-based education I had planned.  I couldn't and can't force her into the childhood I had planned.  I had to adapt.  I haven't figured it out, yet, but I search and seek for things that catch and hold her interest.  That's how we discovered Dog Man.  Wonderful, beautiful, incredible Dog Man.  Themes and stories I love retold with added silliness, bright illustrations, and an adorable baby kitten.  She may never read Lord of the Flies, but she has absorbed The Lord of the Fleas.  And that is just fine.  Dog Man is silly but it teaches kindness, forgiveness, perseverance, compassion, and so many other high ideas.  I love the books.  I love that she loves the books.  Mostly I love her-- ADHD and all.

This class is based on the Dog Man books by Dav Pilkey
