I'll do the random drawing here soon, and let you know the results. I'll aim for books geared to children 6 mos to 5 yrs, since these are the guidelines :-) Glad you all took a part in this.<br /><br />HowLynnTimes: as for important things to take to a conference? I'd say business cards! Always needed to exchange with others. Oh, and of course a short pithy pitch--you never know who you'll be able to share your fabulous book idea with.<br /><br />And Peggy--Good to hear from you!

The reading program sounds like such a wonderful project. I'd recommend a Barbara Cooney picture book, but that might be advanced if this is for younger ages (i.e., 2-3). Thanks for the link to the "Going to Bed" article--I'll definitely check it out!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121018905141253640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134040229227913313.post-64747779639695469312011-03-15T12:23:30.405-04:002011-03-15T12:23:30.405-04:00Next Year I will go to the conference in Ohio too!...Next Year I will go to the conference in Ohio too!
