 The Dear Baby Mailbox
Dear Carol,
I wanted to write you a note of thanks as a new parent. My daughter Jessica was born in April and Dear Baby, What I love about you! is the very first book I read to her. She's now 7 mos old, and we read it together every night before bed. She still laughs with delight as we read the words that she has grown to know so well. It's a great comfort to her after an often busy day. And it's a wonderful time for me to treasure our quiet time together. So I thank you for writing such an adorable book. As an avid reader I hope to instill in her the same love for books that I've had throughout my life. I think this book will help pave the way~
Sincerely,
Diane M. Yonkers, NY
p.s. we are delighted to learn that Dear Baby, Let's Dance! will be coming next year!
Celebrity Notes
We love hearing from you!

Hi Carol,
I met you at the Jr. League Journey to Literacy a few weeks ago. You gave me the pages for your new book about colors. That week, I read the book to my 4 year old speech therapy students who are working on language development. They loved the book. After I read a page, I asked them what color I was reading about. They loved calling out the color! It was great because these special needs students could see the color and also had just heard me say it. They loved getting the answers correct. The next day, when I mentioned reading a book, they said "color book". Thank you for what you are doing for children. We educators appreciate you,
Susan Byars
Preschool Speech Pathologist,
