Hi, Sharon. Thanks for the suggestions! I know* The Diamond Tree* collection quite well (I like to tell "Moving a Mountain"), but I think this particular child wants the pictures. However, I can certainly tell that story to his class. And *Such a Prince* is new to me. It looks great and I will definitely order it.
Thanks also to those of you who have responded to me off-list!
