Literature / Money / Information

Literature: It's amazing how much reading can be got through with unflinchingly regular bed-time story-time.
.
Recommend a book, or books, that would stand a chance of enrapturing a bright seven year old boy.
.
Money: 'I wouldn't count on it', 'Don't bet on it', 'How much are you willing to put on that?', and so on.
.
Horses, dogs, the dollar, the weather, politics, where bears choose to excrete... Literally or metaphorically, what would you bet on?

Information: Given the circumstances, I suppose the phrase 'Too much information' would seem a bit harsh.
.
What are you grateful for?
.
Good week to you.
