These types of things are what comments are for. It's a discussion. You misunderstood the purpose of the post, but it doesn't make those books any less valuable. I'm going to check them out for when my son is older! Thanks for contributing! Stephen-

A subtle, but important distinction. Unfortunately, I couldn't delete the comment, once published. Given that the list is meant to be an ongoing resource AND carries an implied endorsement of the books on it, I think you should delete the comment. I don't want to confuse future readers of the list or appear to hijack the authority of the work that you and Michael do and for which I have the utmost respect. Ann (and all),
