I'm sure there are lots of hard working single parents who don't have extra time to seek out children's books, or discretionary funds to spend on them when just paying the electric and grocery bill is hard enough.<br /><br />One children's book delivered every 30 days is likely to be used exactly as intended. Second-hand books won't fetch more than 50 cents apiece, and wouldn't be worth the trouble of signing up.<br /><br />KUDOS to Dolly and to Nissan!
