Just to clarify the tape "thing"....my cassette tapes are produced with authorization from the National Library Service division of the Library of Congress specifically for the use by blind or physically handicapped individuals. These tapes won't be used by individuals who visit regular libraries or bookstores and they are not available to anyone other than patrons who use those libraries that serve the blind or physically handicapped. I have not listened to the tape (but will this week) because either someone has indicated that the book is for elementary students (in speech on the tape or in braille on the cassette box) or my student is making an excuse not to read this book. I was just wondering if there were some changes in the text or if someone at NLS made a decision that this was for a specific grade level (which they usually do when they produce these materials). I now have all three print copies but must fight those students who are reading them in order to get my chance to read! (I'm reading our Sequoyah Books in hopes that I can divert their attention at a booktalk and then "steal" Harry from an unsuspecting student!) I can still "book talk" this wonderful title and probably win the students (high school) over with the fact that "everyone's doing the Harry Potter thing"---- Thanks for the clarification...since book covers usually don't sell the books at my school anyway, I can rest easily, knowing that the text is still very much the same. (It's almost nice not to be in a school where you are able to judge a book by its cover...but tough on the librarian because I have to read almost everything just to "sell the book!") Thanks for the insight.
