"Asterix and the Goths" is so good, apparently, that my son, upon arriving home from school on Monday, couldn't be bothered to take off his coat, shoes or even his backpack before sitting down to read it. I'm pretty sure the two furniture store delivery guys, who had come to adjust two faulty dresser drawers and a poorly positioned mirror, and had propped the door open, had to step over him to leave.
On loan from the British School's library, this is the third volume in the Asterix comic book series (originally published in French in the '60s, translated into English in the '70s) that T collected when he was a kid.

If you can find them, have him read the "Nicholas" series, also by Goscinny. They have a beautiful new English edition with Sempé's original illustrations. I grew up on them and now Theo reads them over and over.
