I always dive into Harry's library bag as soon as he brings it home. I'm intrigued to see what treasure he's uncovered in the school library. Boy oh boy did I feel incredibly nostalgic when I pulled this classic from his library bag last Friday. I have never read the book (I didn't even know it was a novel first), but the movie was dear to my heart.
The Never Ending Story was one of my most favourite childhood movies ever. What can I say...I'm a child of the 80's. I think we all dreamed of riding on Falkor the luckdragon. Remember that terrifying Gmork? I just about leaped into my Mum's lap when that creature dived at Atreyu in the Swamps of Sadness! At the time, it was the scariest thing I'd ever seen.
I don't think I've ever talked to Harry about the movie. How fabulous he found the book - I'm going to read it too. I've told him I'll watch the movie with him when he's finished. I hope the video shop has a copy!

Cool! I haven't read the book either. Ask Harry to let me know if it's a good read. Hope you can get a hold of the movie.
He loved it - didn't surface from his room until it was finished! Now my turn.
