Question #4: Who is the most ____ in this story? This may be my favorite question to ask, if only because it is the simplest. Insert any character trait into the blank space. You’ll probably need to follow up this question with a second one—something like, “What makes you say that?” or, “Can you give me an example?” If you ask your child who he thinks is the most courageous person in a book, be prepared to follow that up with, “When was the moment he or she showed the most courage?”
