I've been reading The Hobbit to the child for bedtime story recently. Bit of a slog at times because (a) she falls asleep in the most surprising places in the text, (b) frequent stops to discuss new vocabulary and previously unknown customs, and (c) lengthy interruptions to hear how she things the story should proceed. That latter bit came to a head tonight as we neared the end of Chapter 8. She believes that the story would be better if we dispensed with the spiders and added some unicorns and has decides to make up her own, improved version.
