One of Kieran's Quirks

Kieran is obsessed with vehicles of all kinds and has checked out just about every kids' nonfiction book on the subject from our library. He has this weird phobia, though, about vehicle books we have not previously read: he is afraid to look at the pictures in the book by himself. Once Ketan or I have read the book to him, he is fine and will spend hours poring over the illustrations. The first look through the book, though, is too intense for him to handle by himself.
