Now that RG and Hobbitses live here, they are all exposed to the LOTR paraphernalia around the house. Pippin has shown keen interest and wants to know about the people in the posters, the statues, the action figures.
So! RG has begun reading “The Hobbit” to him, and LOTR.
This morning, Pippin parked himself on the sofa and was “reading” about Bilbo Baggins. He was looking at the maps in the book and talking to himself. Observing this prompted me to print out the two maps from “The Hobbit” so he has larger ones to look at.
Never too young to enjoy the works of The Professor!
might one assume pippin is the older one?
Wiz, several years ago a friend gave me the John Howe maps. They’re packaged quite nicely and have text by Brian Sibley. The maps themselves are poster-sized. If you don’t have a set, this might be something to look for to hang on the wall and show the hobbitses as you go along in the book. Here’s the amazon link, if you’d like to take a look:

Pippin is indeed the older hobbit.
Love the blog, Wiz! Glad to hear things are settling in so well.
