RobinA Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Hi everyone My name is Robin Adolphs and I'm new to this forum and all forums in general. I'm an author with a few children's picture books out myself. I just think when you read a book as a child it shapes you and becomes a part of your identity, and I want to be able to give that children all over the world. Because every child deserves to read a picture book. I thought it would be a good idea to be a part of this and talk to people that actually like to read books and give suggestions. I would love to get to know everyone, specially to the folks that love children's picture books. So hello It's lovely to meet you all and I look forward to talking with you. Warmest regards, Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinA Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hello Robin and welcome! I'm enjoy looking at picture books with my almost-2-year-old. What kind of books do you like reading? And which are your favourite picture books? Hi, I love children's books. My favorite books so far are "Yesterday I Played In The Rain" and "The Pile Up" . I also love activities for children about the book as well. As an example all of my books have activity sheets, coloring sheets. I just find it more interactive and the children love it. (Specially when they are free activities that you just print from your computer) What are your favorites? Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
