Books are continuing - thanks to the brilliant postal workers who continue to deliver them. This is what a parent emailed this week: I just want to start off with expressing my sincere appreciation for the books that have been sent. I believe that because of these books, they have laid the foundation for my child to enjoy story time for years to come. My child loves 'baby boo and the giraffe' in particular and I love watching his little face light up every time the book is read.
