- would love it if the first thing you said before describing the books for children was the appropriate age- you sometimes mention it at the end of the inyerview but not always. Since my grandchildren live in Shanghai I don't see them enough to know what books are popular or age-appropriate or what they are reading except for some of the series books such as Lemony Snicket. I was driving during your latest broadcast and pulled over to write down 'Home Free' by Sharon Jennings - it sounded perfect as we did a wonderful trip to PEI with them to see the many Anne of Green Gables sites and shows.THanks - nice to hear your voice again Shelagh.
