[Gloria G]

Thank you for some of the suggestions. These sund like really cute books. I 
am excited to start purchasing some of the braille books and being able to 
read to my daughter. Thanks again.

> Guess How Much I Love You (I love this one because it's actually about a

> The Very Hungry Caterpillar

> The Very Busy Spider

> The Very Quiet Cricket

> Touch and Feel Puppy, (Or any type of touch and feel book)
