Kids are so much smarter than a lot us give them credit for. They deserve well written books that don't spoon feed them. Make them think! ;)<br /><br />Take care!<br /><br />--HilaryHilary Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18199287020561210673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1850079007551094639.post-71715997605255162132010-08-04T12:18:14.092-07:002010-08-04T12:18:14.092-07:00Tricia: Thanks!

Sometimes it feels so hard to juggle all those things, but if you can pull it off, magic happens. :)Tricia J. O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05993110400088806252noreply@blogger.com
