We would love to read “ABC Dentist: Blue Apple Books” to prepare our children for dentist trips (my daughter wouldn’t cooperate the first time we tried to take her) and “Mother Goose Manners” because it sounds very cute as well as a good way to instill manners.  Many more look/sound great.  Thanks!
