Who says you have to have a kid to buy and enjoy a children's book? But it sure is fun when you do!<br /><br />Jackee, I'm glad you enjoyed the interview and my advice. How wonderful that you have three little people! Sounds like a good audience for the animal sounds.<br /><br />Hilary, thanks, glad you liked it! Yes, my grandsons offer plenty of thoughts and ideas.
