Potter Hype
If you want to inculcate the reading habit in your child but don't know how to go about it, here's an idea. Introduce your child to the magical world of Harry Potter, and you've got him hooked for life. Muggles just

The book introduces you and your children to an entire new world of magic and mystery, and from the moment you start reading the first book, you are hopelessly entangled in the web woven by J.K.
