As you and your child rhyme, sing, pick out colors, count and discover new words you will find that this book will soon be one of your child's favorites as well your own!

This book offers your child a continuum of learning experiences beginning with infancy when babies first learn to appreciate the melodic sounds of language. It will take them through their toddler hood�? as they explore everything around them and well into their preschool years where they begin to arrange and manage their worlds.

It won't stop then as it will be a favorite of early readers who will discover the joy of finding something new in something familiar as they go back time and time again to recreate new experiences as their reading vocabulary increases and view of the world expands.

Lou explores the world of diversity in a way that young children make can make sense of their own. As her characters explore their environments so will you and your child as discussions unfold around these exciting characters that are so loveable and engaging.

You can count on many discussions to occur that will help you as a parent and teacher understand the developmental stages that your child will go through as you watch them move from one developmental stage to another. Watching and learning yourself as his/her understanding and abilities grow and change.

Come and join Sir Frettirick� and his pals as they learn about the similarities and differences of each other and the world around them as they explore it all!

Special note to parents and teachers-

The research that has gone into making this book, as well as many of Lou's self-written songs about her characters has been done with local children in Southern CA. Here we have a blend of the entire world of both cultural and socio-economic diversity. As with all of Lou's material this book stays responsible to her belief that it all begins at home!
