Hi, Cindy! Actually, we have both. <Smile> Since there's no way to tell who is most likely to be reading the books, I for one would appreciate descriptions of illustrations whenever possible. The amount of detail you give is up to you. I haven't read these particular books, so I'm not sure how much detail is needed.

Shelley, maybe whoever validates your scans will be able to add picture descriptions. Of course, they're not required, and we will all appreciate the stories anyway. <Smile>

Take care!

Jana

--Shelley, when you do these children's books with
your friend, do you include descriptions of the
illustrations, and if so, in how much detail? The two
you asked for are primarily picture books, and,though
I'm halfway through with Cloudy, and I am including
descriptions, but I'm wondering how detailed to get --
or if the story's enough and kids can use their own
imaginations. It occurs to me that if blind parents
are reading to sighted kids the kids can describe the
pictures and it would be good exercise. Of course, if
kids are reading to themselves, that's another matter.
