Reviews

As the series title indicates, the supplied text is only the conversation starter. What the parent/adult and child do with the contents of the photographs after the first "reading" is up to them, but the photos' contents do provide ample opportunity for "taking-about." Highly Recommended.--Dave Jenkinson"Canadian Materials" (10/17/2003)
