Hi, everyone --

We have a regular customer who volunteers to read aloud at an adult day care center.  Many of the people she works with have conditions that have affected their ability to pay attention for a long period of time or fully understand what she's reading.  She reads a lot of simple poetry to them and has even had some success with children's magazines, but picture books are the hardest category to find something that works.

If you've helped someone in a similar situation or can think of a title that's simple, not too wordy, but would not be condescending or unsophisticated for an adult audience, please send me your ideas!

Thanks,
Suzanne
