About This Book
Inspired by Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama, who created and 'planted' polka dotted trees and enormous dancing pumpkins across the New York Botanical Garden, amongst a variety of flowered sculptures and water lilies and grasses, Penelope Dyan, like our main character in this book, wondered if she would ever see a polka dotted tree. And she wondered what it would mean if she ever happaened across one.Ask yourself what you would think if you ever saw a polka dotted tree, and what that would mean to you. And if you can't figure it out, you could always ask the elephant, or any of the other fun and familiar Penelope Dyan characters who will guide you through this fun, 'learn to read' book, written and illustrated by Penelope Dyan, award winning author, attorney and former teacher, that is filled with word recognition and word repetition and rhyme, all of which will help you practice your reading skills as you build your reading word vocabulary. And when you are finished traveling through the pages of this book, you can go to to the Bellissimavideo YouTube channel; and you can watch the free, fun music video that goes with this book for even more learning fun! (After all, if learning isn't fun, a kid won't love to learn!)
