Move over Dr. Seuss, Mary Lee Kendal is in town. During Mary’s years as a teacher, she found the best way to teach was to be “entertaining without being entertainment.” She saw how children and teens are extremely creative if you just give them a chance. Kids learn in many different ways. Some learn through reading, playing, singing, dancing, rhyming, or even drawing. They learn visually, and by writing poetry. They love to creatively express themselves and her classroom was one place they could do that.
So how did she come up with fun quirky Dr. Seuss type rhyming books? As a kid she loved to rhyme. She was always encouraged to write, read, rhyme, play, act, sing, dance, and be as creative as possible by her parents. She feels her books bring in many of kids favorite ways to learn. Her social stories are meant to be read together a loud with an adult or older sibling and a child bringing the bond between each other even closer.
All of her social stories are meant to educate in an entertaining way. "If I can help one child feel a little bit better about themselves, build self-confidence, increase self-esteem or handle being bullied, or encourage them to stand up for themselves, or a friend, then I have done what I have set out to do."

About the author
Mary Lee Kendal
11 books4 followersMove over Dr. Seuss, Mary Lee Kendal is in town. Mary frequently refers to herself as a recovering high school & junior high teacher. A graduate of Indiana University’s Education & Sports Medicine Program Mary Lee currently resides in Naples Florida where she enjoys sunsets and long walks on the beach. It’s true!
She is a big fan of grilling and chilling and enjoys spending time with family and friends and especially the young nieces and nephews.
One of her favorite pastimes is zipping around in her convertible with her English Bulldog Louie, singing, ever so poorly to Elvis Presley. Louie enjoys the ride much more than the singing. At least that is what he says. A matter of fact, he prefers Jimmy Buffet. Just ask him.

Open the book, read the chapter and answer the questions at the end of the chapter was never done in her classroom. Boring! Have a conversation, ask kids a question and let them draw the answer? Let them, make up a song and sing the answer. Oh yes, she did! If they preferred to do a book report let them do that too.

A wonderful story that teaches children that it's ok to be themselves. It also encourages having confidence in yourself and learning how to get along with others. The delightful illustrations really help pull the reader into the story. I'd like to hear more about Penelope Pig!

A Pig in a Wig
Great kid’s book, fun rhyming and adorable pictures. Sad concept that has uplifting ending. Questions and talking points at end are thought provoking too!
