Hi,

I've been following the discussion and felt compelled to tell this story. I visit the classes in Londonderry on a regular basis. On one occassion, I brought with me THE LIBRARY by Sarah Stewart. If find this book to be a wonderful picture book to share with children...and adults.

I was asked to speak to the Women's Club in town to promote the opening of our new library. I brought THE LIBRARY with me, and read it to a room full of women. It was a huge success! I live by my feeling that
"you're never too old for a picture book and you're never too old to be read to."

Anyone else have any experience with using picture books with older folks? Thanks for the lively discussion...it really get one thinking!
