What happens when a tiny guy talks his grandfather into studying bugs in the grass, playing cars under the table and hiding in a child’s tent? Play, Pop, Play takes Tom and Pop through a busy day with Pop growing tired and Tom energized.

Designed for the beginning reader, Play, Pop Play includes zany, whimsical illustrations and a simple story line of mostly two or three-letter words, short sentences, and repetition.

Also included are ten different interactive activities for young readers to practice reading skills and improve comprehension and retention. Using different color crayons, the child can match rhyming words or pictures, find hidden words in a matrix of letters and answer simple questions. Completed pages can be saved, emailed or printed.

Both the author, Mrs. K, a reading and writing teacher, and the illustrator, Mrs. A, an art teacher, hold master’s degrees in education. Mrs. K has 15 years tutoring experience and 7 years of public school and university teaching. Mrs. A has more than 30 years teaching experience, and has published cartoons, greeting cards and advertising illustrations.
