Hi Shelley, I'll pick up as many as I can find, and process them inhouse. They are "educational" by any standard. Carrie ________________________________ From: Shelley L.

Smile. These are proving rather popular with the members of Bookshare. there are six of the books I can't get. Below is the information on them. Would love to finish this series, is 122 books in all if we can get these last six. Great for students middle grades wanting to learn about a particular animal. Some of these might be available in new editions, and I can't borrow new editions, not until a year has passed. They are easy books to scan and proof, do not require picture descriptions to be enjoyable and readable. Have done the rest of the series and know what the books are like. Author Kite, Lorien.
