Hello Maj-

You mentioned that you have kids who are learning english
so I will post a few links about this book because I liked it when I was very small.

This is the same cover illustration for this book that I had when I was a little kid.

Thank that was very sweet of you. I'd still like to play a yahoo game with you. What about this weekend? I am too busy during the week.

I watched for you to reply about a game all weekend but I did not see you online much.

I guess you had some REAL LIFE fun away from your computer. Good!
