My little brother Johnny doesn't like to read. My mom saw the southwest books with all the cool pictures, stories and crafts and activities and just new Johnny would read them. As soon as the books came in Johnny started reading them every day! Now he reads over his 20 minutes a night for homework and he's very smart about bugs, bones and other things. He knows things other kids don't know. I even like the books and I'm 10 years old!!!!!! My mom is my girl scout leader. We have 17 girls on our troop. I have been a girl scout for six years. She takes us camping. She is also the leader of all the leaders and we have over 1,000 girl scouts in our city!!!! She helps everybody!!!!!! When my dance studio closed she scraped the money up and opened one herself. Now my friends and i have a place to dance. She also is the den mother for my brothers boy scout troop. I love my mom so much. Please pick her!!!!!!!!! Love, Darla

Nadezda Babkina came by our house today and we bought the Explore and Learn and Ask Me books. This young lady brings a breath of fresh air to the world by her pleasant personality and genuine dedication to what she is trying to accomplish this summer. Though she reports that she has only been in the US for two weeks, I was so impressed by her English speaking capabilities and presentation of the products offered by your company. I do not have any children at home at this time but I purchased the books to use in tutoring children in reading. I'm sure when my order is delivered that I will be a satisfied customer and hope that Nadezda's expectations of her job with Southwestern and America prove to be positive and beneficial to her future. She is impressive.
