how dose recomending books to danny present a dilemma to mr malter?

When Reuven tells his father about Danny’s activities, David Malter marvels at Danny’s curiosity and capacity for learning at such a young age. Later that week, Reuven’s father confesses that he isn’t sure whether it is ethical to give Danny books to read without his father’s knowledge. At the same time, he recognizes that no one will stop Danny from reading and takes solace in the fact that, through frequent discussions, he will help Danny digest the material.
