While it may be quite true that "Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom." as Thomas Jefferson said; honesty must also be tempered with kindness, meaning that no one has to say everything they are thinking, especially if what a person is thinking is unkind, mean or cruel. Use this fun 'learn to read' book by the award winning author, attorney, and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, to begin your discussion about truth and kindness, and about what truth and kindness means to you. You can also practice your reading skills as you read this kid-sized book filled with word repetition, word recognition and rhyme. (Its extra large print is perfect for young eyes. ) And you can visit some familiar Penelope Dyan characters, who are once again eager to impart their knowledge to a kid like you! But most of all, have fun learning; because if learning isn't fun, a kid won't love to learn. When you are all done reading, you can go to Bellissimavideo's YouTube channel and watch the free music video that goes along with this book for even more learning fun!
