Harper Collins publishes a bestselling children's book series based upon cat clans. There are six books in the original Warrior series that chronicles the rise to power of Firestar, a former kittypet, to the forest culture of Thunderclan, one of four cat clans that inhabit a foreign forest. I read the series to my youngest child beginning when she was in the 2nd grade. We have just completed Book Two, Moonrise, of the second Warriors series, The New Prophecy.
These books, written by Erin Hunter, are a wonderful way to engage boys or girls. The plots introduce topics that are ripe for discussion and application to young persons: a common code of conduct, the care for the young and elders, service to community, and problem-solving.
I use the books for bribery. I can get clothes folded and put away, the dishwasher unloaded, the floor swept, etc. by my kids SO LONG AS I continue reading another chapter.
