Gene, I just happen to see your message concerning Allen to Pat where you 
mentioned that you were having a hard time finding good children's books 
in Braille.
I have a wonderful solution for you!

This organization is a non proffit origanization that produces all the 
best sellers, etc in Braille, both in Grade 1, and Grade 2 Braille as the 
child progresses along with their reading skills.
The best part of this whole deal is that the books cost no more than do 
the print books. And yes, your child gets to Keep the books!!!
I am a blind parent, and so I use these books in reveerse manner, I read 
them to my sighted children. 
Allen would find them absolutely Wonderful, and they will enhanse his 
interest in reading all the more.
The catalog for these books is available from the above address in both 
print, and in Braille. A grade level is listed after each book title so 
you know wheather or not the book is suitable for your child's level.
Enjoy!
And, by the way, if you'd like to talk with me at any time, my phone here 
at Insight International Inc is 602-956-1459.{
I grew up blind from birth, (was a premature baby) and thus lost my 
sight.
I am now age 37, and have two girls who are sighted, ages 4 and 8. I was 
a "main streamed" kid and went to public schools all my life.
So, would be glad to help with anything you may have questions about.
