RECOMMENDATION
With Holidays on the horizon, these books will make for a great gift idea for the bookworm in your family or young friends. Lots of good choices and there's one for every age! I can guarantee endless reading and fun times ahead. The only thing I can't guarantee is a book drool-free (from falling asleep on it at night) and a child sleeping on time at night.
These are great. Ordering now. My seven year old will be THRILLED to find these in his stocking.
