Hi Sue,

My guess, or opinion, on the Madelyn books would be they are targeted at the early readers or younger group. Younger if someone is reading them in order to spur their interest, but simple and short enough for the early readers. Another series I would consider in the same category, and quite cute, with nice pictures and not too many words on each page would be the Babbar (spelling???) books.

Dave, who's mother was a children's librarian, and consequently was subjected, or introduced, to a variety of early books.

One of m friends had a group of books to read to her children called The
Madelyn Books and they were really cute.  What I don't know is if they are
preschool level or for lower grades in elementary school..  Even without
seeing the pictures they were real cute.  I liked them as well.  <smile>

Thanks very much Scott, that saves me a lot of time, smile. I can't get Kurzweil to do that, it doesn't want to work through our wireless router and I am clueless in how to fix it so it can.

That helps a great deal.

I just logged onto Bookshare and according to the category search feature,
there are 2123 books in the children's books category.
