Wait Till Helen Comes is an interesting book. I think it might have scared me, as a child. It deals heavily wi......more

Being a grandparent has enriched my life in so many ways, including the books I read. Being on the lookout for children’s books to share with my grandsons, who have also become quite avid readers, I have discovered that children’s books can be very enjoyable for adults as well.
