>> 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.
