Lissi,
Thank you for your suggestion. I didn't know about them.
Thanks again,

Our Agreement
Dear Pam and booksharian Friends,
It is a coup for Bookshare to be getting books directly from Saddleback Press.
Have you notoced the many high interest low vocabulary books from the Orca
series already in the collection? The ones I'm familiar with are primarily for
middle school and older kids, though there might be a branch of that series
directed to younger readers.
Always with love,
Lissi
