Vanity: I'm Back and Need Some Help

Posted on 12/23/2007 4:17:20 PM PST by UsnDadof8

Haven't been on here for a couple years. I was lucky to even remember my user name and password. Here's the help I need: I remember a couple of times on Christmas I read a story, namely Ramona and The Three Wise Persons to my kids. I would like to do so again this year but have no idea what book or story anthology it would possibly be in. I was at a used book store yesterday and the gentleman searched on amazon to no avail. Anybody ever heard of this story or know where I could get it?

It’s from “Ramona and her Father” of the Ramona series. Chapter 7 according to Google.

Dittos to #2 on this thread, that’s the correct information. BTW, the author is Beverly Cleary, one of my all-time favorites.

I have a reading program for my two youngest.

We spend an hour each night reading to each other and Romona is one of our choices for books.

Thanks to a lot of us who DO regularly donate, FR was still here when he decided to come back.

I would be open to any and all suggestions for children's books that you may know about.

So far we count on the teachers and library for suggestions.
