Too Many Words!

     One of the hardest things about my job is picking books for daycares and preschools I serve as bookmobile librarian.  Most 3-5 year olds don't sit for very long to listen to a story, so most teachers want stories with few words and great pictures, and who can blame them.  Far too many picture books have beautiful stories and pictures BUT no preschooler will sit for a long time unless it might be a one on one situation.  Yesterday I sorted my books that I circulate to daycares, etc. and I have way too many "too many words books".  So if anyone out there has the notion to write a children's book remember, the fewer the words the better!  The brighter the pictures, the better!  EP
