The Road to Hilo! a Kid's Guide to Hilo, Hawaii Penelope Dyan Large Type edition

Hilo, Hawaii is a city on the 'Big Island of Hawaii,' and the 'The Big Island' is still growing due to all the volcanic eruptions on the island, and if you go there you will see lots and lots of volcanic rock, but more than that you will see long roads and lots of bridges, if you know where to look for them. This book by the award winning author, attorney, vocalist and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, with photographs by John D. Weigand, is a kid's guide to Hilo, Hawaii; but like the other Dyan/Weigand travel books for kids, it isn't about things and places as much as it's about the feel of a place, and it is meant to help children develop reading skills though word recognition, repetition and rhyme, and to give kids something for them to contemplate. It is about seeing with the eyes, what most adults miss, and about asking the questions most adults never bother to ask. This book is the second of three books about 'The Big Island.' And these three books have extra large print for little eyes and are perfectly sized to be held by little hands, with just enough information in them so as not overwhelm a young child. There is also a music video that goes along with this book on the Bellissimavideo YouTube Channel that will further enhance the learning process as well as the fun; because if you don't have fun learning, you won't love to learn!
