Oh, geesh... thanks. I didn't mean to worry anyone. I just thought the story was cute and so perfect in terms of sticking together. He has always been one to sit and draw and colour.

She'd be lining up to hear this story. Especially if there was a dragon. Incidentally, we're reading her The Hobbit right now and she has a little crush on Gandalf. Haha. Eta. Sorry, it sounds like there was a Balrog, not a dragon...

We're reading The Hobbit, too! My kids are loving it. I am looking to see if I can find a copy of the old animated movie, because I remember loving it when I was little.

TBH I was a little concerned when I saw the monster and I thought one of us might get eaten. The long ropes with little kids dangling off them had me worried, too. But, apparently, it is always his big brother, rescuing him.
