Please
allow us . . .
to introduce a delightful
new picture book,
"Sid
the Mad Little Bad Little
Dragon".
It's the tale of
a bully, written
in rhyme using
a unique new font
called KIDSPRINT.
This font, placed
onto the
traditional red and blue primary printing guidelines,
was implemented to simplify the relationship
between reading and
printing
for young students.
Children relate to
the simplicity of the rhyming story
and can easily identify
with the characters. We have
had an exciting
response from elementary schools,
who are inviting
the author and illustrators as guest
speakers for their
students. This book is being used
as a tool to open
the door for much needed
discussion about
bullying, respect, compassion and
friendship. |
Recently, the author
and illustrators were surprised on one of their presentation days when
they were greeted by a room full of "Sids"! The students were so
enthused with the "Sid" story, prior to the visit, that they were inspired
to make their own dragon masks. Educators and teachers say this book
is making an important contribution to early education. Both primary
teachers and pre-school parents tell us that it is a welcome resource.
They find that the rhyming story plants a seed of compassion as it introduces
the first steps in primary reading and printing. |
