Gents, thank you for all your suggestions -- any number of these sound
good, and I'll look into them. They'd likely be good additions to my
own bookshelf, too. Can I broaden my question -- probably what I
should have asked in the first place -- and ask for suggestions for
anything that a child her age might find inspiring? Not necessarily
instructional in nature, but material that could fire her imagination
and shed some light on our sport. Let's throw videos into the mix,
too: she's already seen "Windborn," and "Fly Away Home".

Tom, your point that she may not need anything to read at all is well
taken, it's just that we are several months from her first lesson, and
I wanted to give her something to chew on in the meantime. Paul, (sisu
1a) we are in the US, and she will have lessons at Valley Soaring, in
Middletown, NY.

thanks again--
