There's this wonderful foundation that Dolly Parton founded called "Imagination Library". I don't know if this is available in your area, but if so you've GOT to sign you baby or child up! You get a free age appropiate book every month until the child is 5 years old and you can have multiple children on the mailing. Dolly Parton is a very kind woman who is doing her part to increase a love of reading in young folks. This is such a great foundation and we're really enjoying it at my household. We've recieved many wonderful books and, as long as we live where they offer this wonderful service, we'll keep getting them until Quinn's 5 years old. We also signed the new baby up with his due date so shortly after he's born, he'll start getting a book a month as well.
Just a note, it takes a LONG time to start getting the books. If I remember correctly, it took 10 or 12 weeks or something to get the first one, but then they arrive every month almost exactlly to the day. Also, if you are signed up and happen to move, it will take a very long time to start getting the books to the new address and the USPS will NOT forward the books, you've got to directly change the address on the website or through your local United Way.
Just wanted to let you all know. I've been meaning to post this for quite some time but I've forgotten.
Here's the website: If the website doesn't work for you, type in "Imagination Library" in Google and it will pull up Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. Hopefully it's available in the area of some fellow pet talkers so you can enjoy this service as much as I have been.
