Yes indeed, having to waste time reding to your children - THERE'S
a problem that needs a solution!

I understand that you are being sarcastic but that gives me a chance
to have address a point others have been making.

If you ask the average man of woman on the street whether they have
ever read "Alice in Wonderland" almost everybody will tell you that
they have.

However, I wager that not 1 in 100 of the people who tell you that
they have read it have actually read it.

They may have seen the Walt Disney movie of a cartoon coloring book
but they have not read the actual book.

I have re-written and published "Alice in Wonderland Made Simple for
Kids" for one reason only which is to help my own daughter, Sandra,
aged 6, learn how to read.

My daughter is a slow reader. She is last in her First Grade Class.

I was a slow reader when I was her age too. The first book I ever read
when I was a small child was not "Fun with Dick and Jane". It was
"Chess for Fun and Chess for Blood" by Edward Lasker. That was because
I had taken an interest in chess and that interest propelled me into
reading it.

My daughter Sandra really likes Alice. She talks about Alice all the
time. For a while I thought that Alice was the name of another kid in
her first grade class. Finally, I realized that Alice was the Alice of
"Alice in Wonderland". She was especially attracted to the drawings of
Alice by Arthur Rackham. Now, she plays the DVD Version "Classic
Fables: Alice in Wonderland" several times a day when she gets home
from school. She likes it much better than the DVD version. I am
hoping that my simplified version of Alice in Wonderland will help her
start reading.

Spam # (who cares)

Do you realize that EVEN IF your book had sounded intriguing
to anyone here, you've extinguished any good will by your
constant spamming?

Go back to spamming your porno JFK assassination fantasies in
those other groups. Or are they sick of you, too?
