Mikey & Me and the Sea

This is another Mikey and Me book, written so little eyes you have trouble seeing can really see the words. This book contains words from the Dolch reading list, works with picture/word recognition and repetition and rhyme as it tells the story of 'Mikey & Me And The Sea.'

Once again there is a very important message in this book, and that
message is to be yourself, a familiar theme in many Penelope Dyan books. Why does Dyan keep repeating this message? She repeats this message because so many of us are unhappy with who we are; and this is very, very wrong. Self image and self confidence are necessary elements we need in order to grow up and to be a strong and healthy individual.

So go and explore the sea with 'Mikey & Me,' and be everything that you can possibly be---because you are special! And there is no one out there exactly like you. We are like fingerprints. No two of us are exactly alike, even if we are twins.

Penelope Dyan is a former teacher, an attorney and an award winning
