>"The Gruffalo" is a delightfully irreverent story about a mouse and an

>Comments from parents...
>
>"Our speech therapist first read this book to my son, and all I heard
>about for a week was 'read the Gruffalo Mommy.' We had to read this book
>every night for weeks after we got it."
>
>"My 3-year-old son borrowed this book from his kindergarten and loves it
>so much, I needed to buy him his own copy. Highly recommended book for
>this age!"
>
>"My four-year-old was in fits -- he's gone off to bed muttering, 'Owl
>ice cream!'and giggling merrily to himself."

>By Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault
>Print/braille edition, $6.95
>In contracted (Grade 2) braille.
>Ages 5-10
>
>In the glow of a campfire, a Native American man tells his young, blind
>grandson the story of the boy's birth -- about the fierce storm that
>raged, and how they chose the boy's name. As he speaks, the grandfather
>ties another knot in the counting rope, saying, "When the rope is filled
>with knots, you will know the story by heart." In this poignant story of
>love, the counting rope is a symbol for the passing of time, and for the
>boy's growing confidence.
