Wonderful--so especially glad to have you aboard. There's a book on the download list that someone mentioned--David Gets In Trouble--for which the illustrations are an important part of the story and move it along, so to speak, a opposed to just illustrating what the story says. If you'd like to take that one, it would be most appreciated. smile When I validate such a book, I put the picture descriptions in brackets on the same page on which they appear--by itself if it is a full-page illustration, or above or below if it is on a page with text.
