| Publisher Description: Everyone needs a friend sometime, and nobody likes to be alone. See what happens when some spunky animals get too noisy in the library and are told to leave. Who is left behind, and what happens next? This book combines the concept of friendship with repetition of words and matching words to pictures in one's mind to teach and reinforce some basic reading skills. The simple drawings encourage your child to draw and to write and to create books, all perfectly planned by this author and poet. This book builds on the concept of success, because no child should ever fail when it comes to learning, and with these Dyan books, kids cannot fail. The main thing to remember when it comes to choosing the right books for your young reader is that a book should be more than just a bunch of words strung together, because when a book is fun to read and has a purpose, kids will want to read. When children read, they also learn. Penelope Dyan is a former teacher, an attorney and an award winning writer. Two of her books for children have been chosen by the UK Arts Council and are on display at the Saison Poetry library on the fifth floor of the Royal Exhibit Hall at Southbank Centre, London, two of her other books are listed in the best books (top ten) on the Pukeke Reading list in Australia, and her book "Surfer Girl" was best teen book at both the 2008 New York Book Festival and the 2008 Hollywood Book Festival and is recognized on the Girls Voices In Literature Database, Miami University Florida. |
