This is book Nine of the Penny Mouse Early Reader Series, and the fun of learning continues This time Penelope Dyan introduces us to the frogs The frogs jump, of course; and they are bothered by those same pesky little bees that we have seen in earlier Penny Mouse Early Readers This book lists the first primary reading list words right next to the book’s introduction, so that parents can copy the words and make flash cards to use with their children as their children learn to read. Dyan begins to also incorporate the use of counting and number words so that the child can interact with the parent as the reading progresses. You will note Dyan uses correct English writing. “To where did the little frog go?” and not “Where did the little frog go to,” because that would be ending a sentence in a preposition; and Dyan is a believer that if a child hears and reads correct English, he or she will speak correct English. But that is just a hidden lesson, the main lesson of this book, and this series is mainly about the joy of learning Penelope Dyan is an attorney, a writer and a former teacher and has been widely published in both the field of law as well as the field of education. She is an award winning writer, and she brings her love of children to the Penny Mouse Early Reader Series Each concept is tried and true and classroom/kid tested Go ahead and laugh as you teach (Everyone is supposed to have fun with these books )
