Wow! This would be a good book for me to have, it will be so helpful when I’m babysitting and to read to all of my little cousins when I’m visiting the family and because I love kids so much this book would be so helpful when I’m volunteering at elementary schools that way I could read to the kids. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!!! Hopefully that I win!!
