Penelope Dyan

Jive Talkin' Penelope Dyan Large Type edition

The idea of truth and of telling the truth is a very big and very important idea, but even more perplexing is why people lie to themselves and others about others and about whom they are. That said, in this book, the award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan explores the idea of truth, or rather of being true to oneself and others. To paraphrase the great William Shakespeare, who first said 'to thine own self be true . . . ,' if you are true to yourself, then you are as the night that follows day and can tell no false thing to any man. And this should be the standard, because even what you think are good ends are never justified by bad means. Use this little book with extra large print and the kid-friendly drawings to practice reading skills through word recognition, word repetition and rhyme and also to explore the concept of this very important subject. Penelope Dyan believes learning should be fun and if kids have fun learning, they will love to learn. Use this book along with Penelope Dyan's other 'learn to read' books, and try using the words inside these books to make books of your very own! Then to further enhance the learning process and for even more fun, there is a free music video that goes along with this book on the Bellissimavideo YouTube channel.
