TEACHING OUR CHILDREN TO LOVE, LAUGH & LEARN The Mushroom Message in "Rules of Gold" is to treat others as you'd like to be treated. LEARNING TO LOVE TO READ is one of the most valuable gifts we can give a child. Adding laughter and sharing the love of reading as a joyful family activity can open the minds and hearts of your Young Mushroom Readers and add a wonderful spark to family connections. READING, LAUGHING AND LOVING TOGETHER is the heartfelt purpose of every Mushroom Tale. Our special recipe is prepared to shine a colorful light on the wonders of your own family's life, filled with a positive self-image, self-respect, compassion, good citizenship and a caring, giving spirit. It starts here with Connie's colorful, comical Mushroom characters. FOR YOUR YOUNG MUSHROOM READERS, each illustration tells a story and shares an idea that can be easily identified and described by even the youngest family members. Even before reading the first verse, a conversation has begun, laughter is shared and magically, learning continues. Learning the joy of family, sharing, laughter and of course, reading. That's the Mushroom Mission. Since every Mushroom Tale is written in rhyming verse, we like to define the Mushroom Method as follows: LEARNING TO READ IS EXCITING SHARING TIME AND A LAUGH IS GREAT FUN MUSHROOM TALES SHARE A VERSE WITH A MESSAGE, THAT WILL LAST WHEN THE LESSON IS DONE. We are the Mushroom Tales team, with Mushrooms by Connie Robayo and Tales by David Freeman. There are Mushrooms with Tales, EVERYWHERE Connect with Connie and David via Mushroom Mail for updates and a FREE eBooks version of each new Tale to enjoy and share. www.MushroomTales.com
