A little light reading

Cambel loves books and we are frequent visitors to the library. Recently, Cambel has taken to picking out his own books without any help from a certain well-intentioned mother who might encourage him to choose a book about feelings or love between mothers/fathers and sons, or cute little toads and frogs and their pleasant adventures. No, Cambel has found the "non-fiction" section for kids and he knows right where all the books about planes and trains and rockets and boats are.
This past weekend we were sitting in church and admiring Cambel for his quietness during the service. He sat silent and motionless, enthralled by his new books from the library. As I leaned in closer to see what my sweet son was contemplating (perhaps love, choosing good manners, the most recent adventure of a harmless toad?), I was a bit surprised to see him turning the pages of a book entitled "Weapons of Ancient Times" followed closely by a book on war tanks.
Apparently he has also located the "how to hurt people" section. I wasn't aware the dewey decimal system had that category.
