The first in my series of learning books, it is based on bedtime stories my Aunt told me as a child. This adventure introduces you to the three main characters: Suzy, Toby and Doby. Together they will learn many things throughout their adventures. In this adventure they learn that a lot of children have fears to overcome. That what a person looks like or where a person lives doesn't make them bad, not all people are mean, not all mice are scary, all parents have rules you must follow, your parents will listen if you talk to them and that if you really believe in something it is OK to fight for it. But be sure that you go about it in a nice, respectful manner. I am sure that when you are done, you and your child will both look forward to their next adventure.
