I was thinking just starting with "The light fantastic" which I THINK is the first of the Discworld books, but isn't one of the better books IMO, still it's quite good and might be more useful to read the books chronologically.

I should add they're quite advanced readers, so read well above their age.
Book One: The Colour of Money

Book Two: The Light Fantastic

There is a very well done move version of both books on one DVD. I highly enjoyed watching it. So if you do decide to skip those books, have your kids at least watch the movies before reading Equal Rites

Here si the link to amazon.com where you can buy The Color of Magic. http://www.amazon.com/The-Color-Magi.../dp/B002436WFI
