If you're planning to spring trip to the greater Boston area with your kids this spring, we recommend that you get them excited about the area you're going to visit by having them read up on topics of local interest. For example, Henry Hikes to Fitchburg by D.B. Johnson, which is based loosely on Henry David Thoreau's Walden, would be great from someone who wants to learn more about the great thinkers of historic Concord, MA. The book describes Henry and his friend, who both want to go to Fitchburg, and shows that people can have different approaches to life. While his friend works to earn money to take the train there, Henry walks through the countryside to enjoy nature and think.
