Help Help Help---I deleted someone's excellent response to this thread,
which I wanted to keep. I can't recall name or place but whoever you are,
you spent a lot of time researching and you have done this for a lot of
years, but still take the time to look for the new and best of children's
materials. If anyone can forward that response to me personally I
would
be grateful. It was posted sometime in this last week. sorry I can't
be
more help. It was a lengthy piece, very descriptive of where her time was
allotted and I think it would be valuable to share this insight. I
think
I deleted it Wednesday but it could have arrived a few days prior...Thanks

Ring any bells with anyone?
Princess wants to marry a commoner King says she can
marry him if roses change color (either form red to
white or white to red) Later Kind has change of heart,
and paints the roses himself. All live happily ever
after.
Please send any hints directly to me:
