I've had the luxury of reading late at night lately just for fun.  Amazing.  But, one of the first books I read was "The Book of the Dun Cow" by Walter M. Wangerin, Jr.  It was a book I read within 24 hours, mind you it is a children's book.  But, it had been on my bookshelf for over 20 years, knew it was a classic, and so I thought, it would be an easy read at 2:30 in the morning.  Not so much.  It has made me think and rethink my world. 

It could be easy for me to tell you how how I felt and what I inferred from this amazing book, but I would rather you read it and take from it what you will.  It has many layers of meaning.  And, while it is a children's book, it will not be one you read to your children without a LOT of conversation with them, which is the point of reading to children, in my humble opinion.  You might want to be firmly in control of your religious, social and spiritual beliefs or you might want to examine them simply with your child/ren. 

I now want a dog I will name Mundo Cani whose nose will be too big.
