Betsy,

That is great that you have Sarah read to her little brothers. I'll
bet they look forward to that. I know that Douglas and Skipper really
enjoyed THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR and WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE. I
know Skipper has both memorized! We love Eric Carle stories and like your
children, Disney is always a big hit. We like to act out the stories, too.
We used to get loud and obnoxious when reading WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE.
When Douglas has a lengthy book to read, we take turns in reading a page at
a time. That is how we read the very funny BUNNICULA.

Jody
