Piano and Laylee Text Message (Piano and Laylee Learning Adventures)

Laylee gets a new cell phone and is excited to be able to text her good friend Piano. Unfortunately their text messages soon lead to a misunderstanding. Mrs. Dachshund and Mrs. Maltese teach Piano and Laylee about cell phone manners so that it wont happen again.

ISTE is excited to announce our first books for early readers! The titles in the Piano and Laylee Learning Adventures Series are invaluable resources for educators and parents wanting to introduce digital citizenship concepts to children aged 5-9. Designed to be read to and shared with early readers, the books follow the adventures of two adorable puppies who learn how to be safe and responsible when using technology. These books are perfect for classroom lessons on digital citizenship or for starting conversations at home. Charming, full-color illustrations help children grasp even the more difficult concepts.
