DANIEL Makes Words!: A personalized world of words based on the letters in the name DANIEL, with humorous poems and colorful illustrations.

One of a series of books that use the letters in a child's name to make new words, offering a personalized and fun learning experience for children from toddlers to latency age. Each book in the series incorporates color, poetry, humor, illustrations, and even some geographical and foreign-language references. These are not story books; each page is self-contained and offers a nugget of information or a humorous situation that is intended to stimulate discussion between parent and child. The “Makes Words!” series of books will be enjoyed by a toddler learning to recognize his/her own name in writing as well as colors and common objects; when the child is older, the same book will broaden reading and language skills, as well as teach interesting and fun facts about the world. Thus these books will be relevant for longer than the typical children’s book. Adult participation is strongly encouraged; adults can and do learn new things from the “Makes Words!” series of books!
