[blparent] Bedtime Stories...

[Melissa Ann Riccobono]

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this one, but Guess How Much I Love You
is a fantastic book to read at bedtime.  It's actually about a father rabit
and his little boy rabit, which I like because most stuff seems to be about
moms and their children.  (I appreciate this even though I'm a mom :)
Anyway, I know Seedlings has this book.  Austin loves it.  Also, Dr. Suess
wrote fantastic books for kids.  Austin loves Green Eggs and Ham, Oh, the
places You'll Go, Horton Hears a Who, Horton Hatches an Egg, and The Cat in
the Hat.  Your library fro the blind should have many of these.  Finally,
Arthur and Little Critter books are also fantastic!
Have fun reading!
Melissa

Try Seedlings as wel.  The site is seedlings.org.  My daughter's favorite is

the very hungry caterpillar, the very busy spider, and Litle Rabbit's 
Bedtime, a touch and feel book, just to name a few.
