As our heroine is leaving the house to go out to play, her mother tells her, "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!" And if you're wondering from when and where this saying came, the answer is that this proverb appeared in Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, written in 1385. And do you know what it means? Our heroine certainly didn't! So, she sets about to ask just about everyone she knows what her mother meant, beginning (as usual) with the elephant!
Think about what you think our heroine's mother meant, as you practice your reading skills and 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 K-6 teacher, Penelope Dyan.
But most of all, have fun as you learn; because learning must be (and should always be) fun! Then, when you're all finished traveling through this book, you can go to Bellissimavideo's YouTube channel and watch the free, fun music video that goes with this book!
