Everyone has a nose, and lots of other things have noses too Noses come in all shapes and sizes, and our noses do something very special. Can you guess what that is? (And there is more than one thing that your nose does ) A nose really is a nose by any other name, just like a rose is a rose by any other name. When you go outside do you stop to smell the roses? Do you sneeze when you get a cold? Sometimes noses can be funny, like the round red nose on a clown, but generally noses are quite serious. They just sit there on your face. Penelope Dyan, author of 'Surfer Girl, ' best teen book at the 2008 New York Book Festival and best teen book at the 2008 Hollywood Book Festival, a former teacher and attorney, really understands kids. She brings all her knowledge and love of children with her as she writes her books, and like all Bellissima Books, her books have a lesson and a purpose. This particular title starts the conversation of body parts and self-awareness it is a great companion book to Dyan's 'Sticks' books. (If you are a boy be sure to purchase the one written especially for boys, and while you are at it you can also purchase 'A Lot Of Snot' by Penelope Dyan.) Have fun reading this family friendly book with its delightful poetry and fun illustrations, and remember and never forget that Bellissima loves kids. After all, our children are the future; and investing in our children should be our biggest joy and our most important obligation.
