Shana shared her book with me and I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed her creative use of both rhyming which encourages children to learn to read by guessing the last word in the next sentence and riddles which encourages children to guess what the author is describing.
Both techniques help children learn, but putting them together makes it fun! Children will not even realize they are learning. That’s the kind of books I enjoy most when I share them with children (or write them myself).
No one wants to feel like they are “learning” or “being taught” something (okay, maybe those great minds who love to study)!. Most of us want to be entertained and especially in today’s digital world. This book definitely entertains.

Thank you, Shana, for sharing your new series with us!

As always, likes, comments, and shares are appreciated.
God Bless You, Everyone!
