Wonderful--so especially glad to have you aboard.

There's a book on the download list that someone
mentioned--David Gets In Trouble--for which the
illustrations are an important part of the story and
move it along, so to speak, a opposed to just
illustrating what the story says. If you'd like to
take that one, it would be most appreciated. smile

When I validate such a book, I put the picture
descriptions in brackets on the same page on which
they appear--by itself if it is a full-page
illustration, or above or below if it is on a page
with text.
