Hello Everyone
On my last flight home from Atlanta I ran into a woman that belongs to a book club in California. However, they thought they had heard of AALBC, but wasn't sure. Well, you know I told her all about our little family here. I also gave her the titles of some works she might enjoy. Today, she emailed me with a very good question from one of her club memebers...Do we know of any good childrens books for ages 3-4 years of age? Hmmp, she don't know you guys like I do, of course somebody on here knows about kids books and I know who you are (smile), so please feel free to let the recommendations fly, so that I can hook the sister and the kiddies up in Cali. LOL |
