We are so proud of you for reading "The Strange Old House" by Roderick Hunt and Paul Shipton. This book teaches us about curiosity and bravery. It shows that sometimes things may seem scary at first, like the old house in the story, but often, they're not as frightening as we think. This teaches us to be brave and explore new things, even if we initially feel a little scared.
You learned about courage. You can use this courage to try new activities, make new friends, or ask questions when you don't understand something. Like the book's characters, you'll find that being brave can lead to incredible adventures and new learning experiences.
Love,
Dad & Mom
