Some Shorts (nah, not the ones you wear in the good ol' summertime ... it's far too cold!)

January 2, 2015  -- Books 005-008

I'm not going to review these books.  They are short enough for you to enjoy without my extra endorsement.  I "partook" of them in audiobook format.  I am sure that the picture book versions are wonderful, if you can get them.  If not, be sure the stories in audio are fine without the pictures to go with them.
These are books I return to from time to time -- they are short and very enjoyable.  I think you will enjoy them too.  :-D
