With a little bit of mean in it, causing some heat. Join Dylan on his journey of life. A rhyming social story about being different & friendship for ages 3 to 8. Move over Dr. Seuss, Mary Lee Kendal is in town. During Mary's years as a teacher, she found the best way to teach was to be "entertaining without being entertainment." She saw how children and teens are extremely creative if you just give them a chance. Kids learn in many different ways. Some learn through reading, playing, singing, dancing, rhyming, or even drawing. They learn visually, and by writing poetry. They love to creatively express themselves and her classroom was one place they could do that. So how did she come up with fun Dr. Seuss type rhyming books? As a kid, she loved to rhyme. She was always encouraged to write, read, rhyme, play, act, sing, dance, and be as creative as possible by her parents. She feels her books bring in many of her favorite ways to learn. Her social stories are meant to be read aloud between adults and child bringing the bond between each other even closer. All of Mary's social stories are meant to educate in an entertaining way. "If I can help one child feel a little bit better about who they are; build self-confidence, increase self-esteem, help them understand that differences are a good thing, overcome shyness, anxiety, and help them realize they are not alone, then I have done what I have set out to do."
