Fighting Words

Kids like to say and think they (and everyone else) can say anything they want to say; because (after all) this is a free country. And a kid worth his salt will be quick to tell you this! But freedom of speech under the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America is not without limitation! And fighting words are not protected words. Think about this concept as you practice your reading skills though word recognition, word repetition and rhyme; and please note that fighting words are only one of the limitations on our freedom of speech. (But perhaps we can discuss that with the elephant and the other Dyan characters at a later date and time.) Written and illustrated by the award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, this fun, ‘learn to read‘ book is meant to get a kid thinking as he or she learns to read. Its extra large print is perfect for young eyes, and the size of this book is the perfect size for a kid to carry in a kid-sized backpack! Then when you are all finished reading, go to Bellissimavideo‘s YouTube channel for even more learning fun!
