[MOSAIC] Prediction

[Joy]

Judy,
  Are you referring to books written by Carol Crane? She is also in the process of adding various countries to the mix. Check out D is for Dancing Dragon, about China. I met Carol about a month ago. She does extensive research for each of these books.
   
  I like them because they are great to share with a variety of reading levels.

  Judy,

There are also books like these for some sports and I have one called P is for Poetry. If you have adult sports fans, they might 
appeal as well.
