Picked it up at the library, natch.. can try before you buy.<br />But, it is FANTASTIC, with chaps. for the parents and then each chapter ends with "a story to read to your children" and super questions to discuss with them and "Lumies" ohhh you just have to check it out. I would LOVE to own a copy, but I am just happy if others read and gain from it as I have. (just as we do from your columns..been a fan since your Ben was 2!

Hmm, like last time, I would love to have one of the Brambly Hedge books (but those actually might be out of print), or I would love to have "Up and Down the River" by Rebecca Caudill. I was introduced to the "Happy Little Family" series here and we just love these books. We just finished the second ("Schoolhouse in the Woods") and it was great. (Coincidentally, in the book the kids play this game that goes something like "chickyma, chickyma, craney-crow." Must be some connection to your little Craney? Right?) --Cathy K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-91116475141381411122010-04-19T07:55:42.810-04:002010-04-19T07:55:42.810-04:00I've got a stack of reading books to get throu...I've got a stack of reading books to get through, so if I won I'd love a picture book! -- The Graphic Alphabet by David Pelletier would delight me AND the kids.<br /><br />(I'm shans216 over at family.com)Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00205874692912038653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-2908088934854917832010-04-18T21:13:06.923-04:002010-04-18T21:13:06.923-04:00I'd love the National Audubon Society Field Gu...I'd love the National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Wildflowers (Eastern Region).
