Again, we leave that decision up to parents.
Some families allow their children to check out one book for every year in their age.
Others limit them to the number of books the children can comfortably carry at one time. And still other families tell their children to limit themselves to the number of books they can read in one month. Audiocassettes of both music and stories. Toys that Teach can be checked out for one week. The collection includes puzzles, plastic dinosaurs, musical intruments, trucks and more.
