Sorting Books

My husband loves to read Tom Clancy books. So when we stumbled upon them at a garage sale, we scooped them up and brought them home. ”Let’s help Daddy stack the books.” I instructed Morgan to arrange the books with the least amount of pages on the top and books with the most number of pages at the bottom.
