I've been enjoying exposing the kids to the Chronicals of Narnia the lastest Star Trek, and most recently The Lord of the Rings the Return of the King (its the only one we had in that trilogy). <br /><br />The Kids are out with the Mom and I'm channel surfing and encountered ET (the politically correct one where the film maker went back and used a computer to eliminate guns from the hands of FBI agents and replace them with walkie talkies. Thought occured to me how much my kids would enjoy ET as the humor is up their alley and the heros are their age. Although the 6 year old is bound to wear me out with questions. <br /><br />So I've made a mental note to not only look for the rest of the Lord of the Rings Trillogy at the library but also ET and I figured I'd pose the question of, Lets compose a bibilography of classic sci fi to expose our kids to sort of an indoctrination of all the sci fi goodness that went into developing our geekdomness.<br /><br />I'll start that list with ET, love it or hate it (and some people hate it) its geared to appeal to kids and the alien is pretty adorable which will grab my daughters I'm sure. It will also expose them to ideas of alien visitors, space travel, first contact and difficulty in communication.
