Sadly (for us), Jim is no longer on the speech circuit - he has retired to spend time with his grandchildren. My dad (who, incidentally, bought me my first copy of "Read-Aloud Handbook") sent Jim an e-mail thanking him for his work, and got a really nice reply. What a great guy, and a fantastic book - my wife and I now give "Read-Aloud Handbook" as a gift to all of our friends who are first time parents!
