I'll second longcut re picture books - and my kids still loved them long past the time they could read long complex small-font big-person chapter books smile I especially love Patricia Pollaco and agree with longcut re the value of them for families with 2e kiddos smile Thank You Mr. Faulkner in particular is really a wonderful wonderful book smile
