Children's books had forever been more interesting to Kansas than adult ones, as a general rule. He believed that this was simply because authors who wrote books for a younger audience wrote them with that audience's imagination in mind. Children had much more admirable, interesting imaginations than did adults, so the books written for them were equally as intriguing. Hence why he spent his time reading things like The Yearling. And why he so enjoyed reading picture books to his puppies. The kinds of adventure in some of those books never ceased to enthrall him.
His happiness to see Gotham so excited about books was immeasurable. He was proud to see that his boy liked stories as well. Kansas believed reading was as important a skill as was hunting, because one could learn so much from books. You could never count on what you'd discover inside the cover of a book. He watched Gotham pick out the books he wanted, grinning widely. "Yeah! Those all look great," he said sincerely. He wondered what they could possibly be about. The one about the monkey looked especially... curious. "Is there anything else you'd like to do while we're here?" He wanted to be sure Gotham had done all he wanted before just ushering him home. The young Sadira had all the time in the world for the boy.
