Poetry with a Poroise/Fun for whole family

As a parent in today's fast paced world, we are often in a big hurry.Rushing around to get the kids off to school or to daycare so we can get to work or do damage control on the house from the previous evening's madness.Sometimes the kids suffer, we feel guilty, so we go out and do something or buy something to make us feel better about not spending enough time with our kids. Well, that's what happened to us. My 6 year old came home from school after seeing a live performance by Mr. Peoples that the P.T.A. sponsered. Needless to say, she had a flyer that talked about Mr.Peoples and the book, Poetry with a Porpoise. Oh, instuctions on how to purchase the book were also included. Imagine that! Catching me at one of those guilty moments, it didn't take much for my daughter to get me to pull out my wallet. As it turns out, buying this book and C.D. has been a true source of enjoyment not just for my daughter, but for the whole family. We were all quacking and waddling around the living room feeling kind of "SILLY", but having a blast laughing at each other. This book is fun, it's educational, it teaches the kids in many ways. My daughter has colored in most of the pictures, which has improved those skills and my wife did a few too! I think it improved her skills as well! At any rate,The next time your feeling a little guilty, for less than a trip to McDonald's for Happy Meals, BUY THIS BOOK and C.D.. The whole family will benefit.Thank You Rick and Susan!

MY KIDS LOVE IT!!

Thanks to Rick & Sue Peoples for a marvelously entertaining book! My 2 boys (5 & 7) love hearing the poems. The 7 year old is learning to read & spends hours reading "Poetry With a Porpoise". The poems make them think & make them laugh. The tape of songs & readings is a constant companion in the family van. My only warning - DON'T play your kids "The Silly" song just before they go to bed! You will hear laughing, clapping, barking, quacking & other assorted noises coming from their room for quite a while!
