Re: Blue Bottle Mystery book, and bad dreams...

[Guest guest]

I bought the book and started reading it myself and it is a really good book.

My son of course doesn't want to read it yet. Another good book for kids is

" All cats have Asperger's " that is a really cute book. Hope that helps.

I did see the cat one, and think my son would love that, too

How old is your son? Why doesn’t he want to read it yet? Thanks for your

thoughts! I can’t wait for it to arrive so I can read it, too
