This is another large size print book for little eyes. It contains words to build upon from the Dolch Reading Words list, as does Dyans first "Mikey and Me" book; and it is the second book in the "Mikey and Me" early learn to read large print book series. Kids can follow the continuing story of "Mikey and Me" and learn to read and have some fun while doing it! Parents and teachers can use the words from this book to make flash cards and play some fun games, and will be surprised at how well the kids will do when they open their reading books, because these are the very same words used in school textbooks, presented in a new and fun way! Penelope Dyan, the author and illustrator of this book, is a former K-12 teacher with experience in teaching kids how to read. Published in Humpty Dumpty Children's Magazine, The Kindergartner, and also in Instructor Magazine, the magazine that teaches teachers how to teach, she has developed her own system of teaching children to read, and that system is simply to have fun, because learning really is fun. Dyan remembers her first trip to the library and the stories her father told her about his visits to the library when he was a boy, and all of that gave her a special love of books and reading that she imparts to her young readers! The illustrations and books in this series are kid sized and kid friendly as are all Dyan's books for kids, proving once again that Bellissima loves kids of all ages!
