Reading is always a special, time with the kids. Devon loves to be read too. And now we are able to share all the awesome books we have, with our small nephews. Harper Collins Publishers is the best place to get your books. With so many to choose from for both adults and children, there is something that will catch your eye.
This month they have, not let us down. We look forward to receiving our books, and can’t wait to see what they have sent us. We have some Mother/ Fathers days books.

Raisin loves being the littlest cow in the herd. All the other cows dote on her, and life is grand.
But one day, Raisin’s mother has a new little cow . . . one who is even smaller than Raisin. And suddenly everything changes. Raisin has never liked change, and this one is the worst. Now no one pays attention to her, the new baby smells funny, and even the weather won’t cooperate.
