I buy some of those musical books, and definitely Disney books. I figure if it keeps my children interested in reading, at age 2, I don't mind them reading stories about Princesses and Fairies... They have plenty of time to read Shakespeare and Maya Angelou.. and they will...MommyMomentshttp://www.mommymoments.netnoreply@blogger.com
