Quotable quotes from Patches in his new book:
I stood my ground and bayed this message:
Bark! Arf! You better get back!
Ruff, ruff! I’m back on the track!
Foxes who cause trouble
Get turned into rubble!
I’m home from Texas and
I’m ready for a ruckus!
I’m meaner and louder.
I’m sterner and prouder.
I’ll run you to the ground
Cause I’m a Tennessee hound.
Keep off of my lot, you Rot!
Ah, yes. There’s no place like home when you have a Tennessee hound who serves and protects!

Learning Lore Letters: an ABC Workbook
$9.99
Learning Lore Letters is a new kind of alphabet workbook created to help parents & educators teach the alphabet & and its sounds to beginners. This fun approach can be especially useful if a child is struggling with phonics. Each page has a whimsical sentence which is meant to entertain the child & teach the letter sound. The letter on each page has been incorporated into the drawing in hopes that the letter name & sound will come to mind when the picture is colored or remembered.
The dotted letter lines have tracing steps indicated by shapes to show where to begin & which steps to follow when practicing hand-writing. No number recognition is needed for the tracing steps as the ordered steps are indicated with sets of shapes, such as stars, dots, & squares in white, gray & black.
To get the most benefit from these pages, I suggest that the teacher or parent read the sentence to the child while the child looks at the illustration. The student can then trace the letter with his finger when he finds it inside the picture, then he can trace the dotted letters before coloring the drawing or practicing handwriting. Keep in mind that the child may learn sounds without being able to write or trace the letters accurately. REPRODUCIBLE for personal use!!
