Purpose of this Blog...

You may have noticed that not all books are equal in capturing children's imaginations and in cultivating those innocent, tender souls. My goal is to help you find the ones that do!

    They're not QUITE old enough for these books, but my boys are already very interested in baseball. I have no doubt they'd grow to love them. :)
