[blparent] Bedtime Stories...

Yes, I still receive those advertisements.  I love the sales around the
holidays- buy 3 get one free.  I have purchased most of  our Twin Vision
books this way.  I absolutely love the Click Clack Moo series as well as the
Froggie series.  Cute, cute! V

My husband and I just got a subscription through nbp where we get a
childrens book every month, they are regular children books wth braille
inserts. I'm 10 weeks pregnant and my husband wants to read to our children
so we are going to start our collection. Let me know if you want the webpage
you can buy individual books too without having a subscription!

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
