For anyone who has ever been stumped by apostrophes or the difference between they’re their, and there, here’s a practical, humorous guide on how to avoid language pitfalls.

Easy as Pi -

Reader’s Digest Gift Books

I was so excited to get four more of these amazing books!  I originally was going to review the first set for my son, but ended up keeping them in my night stand and reading them before I went to bed.  Now the they are finally in his room and I have the four new ones in my night stand   I love all of Reader’s Digest books and these were no different.  It is nice to know that every time I open one of their books, I will have learned something by the time I am done.  I almost feel smarter talking about it!  I would, once again, recommend the Reader’s Digest “I Used to Know That” series to any school aged children and their parents!
