As a librarian I’ll keep saying this as long as I need to: Your “advanced child” should keep reading rich picture books. Don’t keep PB away from your kid! They’re full of layered vocabulary and complicated story lines! They’re made for parents to read to kids. PB=high quality bks

Imagine having 44 billion dollars and using it to buy this godforsaken website.
Anyway, please buy our books so I might have a small bonus in December. If you have 44 billion dollars, you could buy almost 2 billion books from us which means you get a free tote bag.

Border guards left toys for Ukrainian children so that every child passing could take a toy with them.
