Narnia and the kiddos

Hey - I didn't see a related thread on the first page, so I'll just start a new one...

My son is now 4 years old. We've been playing a couple of the Narnia books on audio for him when he goes to bed every night. He's probably listened to LWW at least 50 times (it's only 4 hours long). We also have PC, and he doesn't like that one QUITE as much.

It's so cute, hearing him progress - right now, his mental growth is at a staggering rate, of course, and he understands more and more every day, and also he understands more each time he listens to the story.

He can't quite pronounce "Tumnus" - he calls him "Mr. Thomas". But he knows it's wrong and so I have to cajole him into using a name at all. He will call him "the faun". It's fascinating, hearing his thoughts on the story.

Have any of you introduced LWW or Narnia to children at such a young age? What sorts of things did you discover?
