Smiles!

As our heroine is heading out to play, our heroine's mother tells our heroine, "Smiles are contagious " And our heroine is left wondering what her dear, sweet mother meant. And so, our heroine decides to ask everyone she knows what they think about what her mother said. And she begins (as usual) with her friend, the elephant And then . . . in the end she figures out what her mother meant all by herself

Think about what you would tell our heroine as you practice reading skills, and as you build your reading word vocabulary through word recognition, word repetition and rhyme, all of which you will find on the pages of this fun, 'learn to read' book written and illustrated by the award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan

But most of all, have fun as you learn; because learning must be (and should always be) fun, or a kid like you just won't love to learn And when you are all finished traveling through this book, you can go to Bellissimavideo's YouTube channel; and you can watch the free, fun music video that goes with this book And then you can have even more learning fun

And if you ever have a question about anything, you can always ask the elephant
