[blparent] Bedtime Stories...

[Veronica Smith]

Here are three books that my daughter absolutely loves:  Good Night Moon,
Brown Bear, brown bear and Polar Bear.  
You can also ask them to send you a variety of Braille or Twin vision books
that are age appropriate.  When my daughter was that age, the library sent
me a box of 4 or 5 books at a time. Another choice is joining the book club
at National Braille Press- the only problem with this club is that you also
get books that are not age appropriate.  The good thing is you can save them
until they are old enough.  I hope I did not confuse you. Veronica
And by the way, welcome aboard.

Hi all,

I'm new to the list so I apalogize if this was previously covered. I have 
two wonderful little girls ages 3 years and 16 months. I've been for the 
past year or so looking for some books to read to them before bed and 
sporadically throughout the day, but haven't come across much. I've 
contacted the library of congress in Texas to find some Braille books, but 
don't know any good titles to specifically ask for that are age appropriate.

I recieved on book of fairy tales, but feel that my oldest is not ready to 
hear of a giant who wants to eat jack and grind his bones up and make bread,

seeing as though Dora portrays the Giant as a gentle person.

I'd also like to find something that is out of the ordinary. I know the 
majority of the "usual" stories and tell those regularly, and have come up 
with some on the fly, but would like to expand outward. I've even considered

adding Braille to the books they already have, but haven't found the time 
and resources.

Anyway... Thanks in advanced for any ideas.

Best regards,
-Mark
