Yes, picture books are used mainly to help children learn to read, but....I think it might help you out. Since it can put the pictures to words and let you get a better grasp of it.
(a better grasp on reading might help her, it isn't like texas is above being patient for someone like this. literacy can take time, as long as the other person is willing to learn.)
I doubt they'll mind as long as we tell them that any damage was an accident if something happens. We can probably start with fairytales.
(that might be better, maybe there are some karterian ones around.)
That's fine, some of the people from back home started from no experience themselves, too. Not everyone has the luxury of being able to learn, as depressing as it is.
(but she also doesn't pity them, everyone has their own separate issues. sometimes they're more than what those who had certain privileges has ever experienced.)
Feels like they might be, despite the differences it's almost like there's something similar to what we're used to. Stories that sound familiar, or even simple things like with the wildlife.
[In her world and this world and... she guesses other worlds.]
That's true... I recognize a lot of animals and tree and plants... even though the people are really different in how they dress and act and build things.
I did notice the same thing, even if I had to change my vocabulary on how to refer to the wildlife instead of terms I used before. To give an idea, we called fish by "finbeasts" and birds by "wingbeasts".

[Even fancier... there's illustrations??!?]
I think I could take good care of them... I mean, I would definitely try...

I wonder if the fairytales here are anything like the ones I already know.
