Harry Potter: A prism
Why it is so great, complete and complicated
Harry Potter is not a novel but a prism. The reader will see the wavelengths of their deepest joys, sorrows and fears in its spectrum.
On the surface, it is a tale of a haunted boy, but deep down, it's a story about what binds us – humans – together.

Winnie the Pooh
I have shared four children's books written by A.A. Milne and his very best friend. He wrote all these stories for his son Christopher Robin. Winnie the Pooh is also known as Edward Bear or as Christopher Robin sometimes called him Silly Old Bear.

Gunsmoke
"Bang" 'Gunsmoke' starring James Arness as Marshall Matt Dillion. This was a television western cowboy show where the good guys won and the bad guys lost. There was Miss Kitty, Festus, Doc, Newly and before them Quint and Chester as deputies. 'Gunsmoke' was a drama but also had a lot of comedy thanks to Festus at times. There were plenty of lessons one could learn as well.
