A Message to Parents
As a parent myself, I believe we should provide more positive experiences for our children. Take the time to show you children places and provide them with something that will never fade…memories. Over time, they may forget the things you purchased for them, but they will never forget the time you shared with them.
A Message to Teachers
As a retired teacher, I know that it is often difficult to find material that will support the standard that you are required to teach. This book is not only fun but one that can be used to support several standards. I was thinking of you when I wrote it. Just know you are wonderful, valued and instrumental in making the world a brighter and better place.
A Message to Students
If I could tell you one thing, that would be to READ! Reading is not only the key to success, but it can take you ANYWHERE! Believe me when I say, the world opens up to you when you open a book. With this book, allow Enzo to be your tour guide.
