An angry mother:
I say, “That’s what you want,” read Jules Verne, there’s definitely a ship. But is a man (a son) small (in the fourth passed)?
It will push, don’t worry. At his age I was read by Strugatzky and Tolkien (without realizing the subtext, of course, just as fiction), and Jules Verne was even read before school. I learned to read early, thanks to my mom. So instill children love of books, and you should not doubt them!
