Reading is Essential...

This book, as well as many others, thrilled my daughter when she was a little one...I would read it over and over again at her request! When my friend announced the birth of her first grandson, she requested books as gifts. Well, I wanted him to experience the joy of The Little Engine That Could...p.s. my daughter is a avid reader today!
