In light of the Read for the Record event (see below), I am considering a special storytime featuring "The Little Engine That Could." Since I'll have mixed ages, I thought having some board book copies available might be a good idea. Has anyone seen the board book version (Grosset & Dunlap, 1991), and how does it compare to the picture book version?
Thanks! Julie
