Youngest had a whole set of books with the books on tape that she just 
loved.  They were all the old native tales.  She had her own little pink 
Walkman and headphones and she'd get up in the morning before everyone else 
and head into the familyroom and grab her Walkman and then go through the 
books and tapes. She had quilt she'd drag along and that's where we'd find 
her and the cat every morning.  She loved to listen to the stories and 
"read" along in the books.
