I signed up for the /r/books exchange on behalf of my 5 year old pre-schooler. He's quite inquisitive regarding the world around him and my wife and I try our best to give him straight, honest answers.

My first match was a no show and I figured I'd chalk it up to 'you win some, you lose some' but then, as I was about to abandon all hope, I received an email stating I'd been rematched and my new match had sent a heart-felt message to me ensuring me that hope was indeed NOT lost and that a package would soon be arriving for my kiddo.

Moments ago it arrived and my boy was very excited when I said it was for him. I explained how the exchange worked and we quickly tore open the package.

The pictures attached show just how excited he was with the entire gift. So many interesting educational books with tons of answers/pictures to questions he has asked and many that he has not yet imagined. Topics ranging from outer space, to the animals around us, to world history, to super heroes. Everything a young eager brain hungers for!

What you cannot see in these pictures is the smiling dad behind the camera! :)

Thank you so much for spoiling my child!!
