See me on the farm,
see me at school
or maybe see me at the zoo
Introduction
I would like to say thanks for reading my book. This book
is based on trying to describe certain items as basically as I
could for all ages, from pre-school on up. Children should be
able too guess at least three items per chapter. This idea is
based on things children learn over the years from watching TV,
going to the zoo, or by storytelling from their parents from
different books.
This book was made to be read to by others, mother, father,
or by friends or relatives.
I dedicate this book to Amanda & Chris, my son and daughter.
A special thanks to a parent at my school - Mrs. Louella
Giron - for her fantastic work on the illustrations.
I also write books on oth-
er subjects, both fiction and
nonfiction.
I love to write to help people
learn different things, and to
keep their interest in reading.
Happy reading to all!
