Just as our heroine heads out to play, her great grandma shouts out to her, "Be an island unto yourself!" And she is left wondering what her great grandma meant! And so, as usual . . . she decides to ask everyone she knows what they think about what her great grandma meant. And she begins with her friend, the elephant! And in the end, she figures it out 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 always remember that a book is a mind investment!
