Marshalette R. Wise

I am Marshalette Wise. Thank you so much for supporting and purchasing "Johnny's Birthday Surprise." This book will be especially appealing to young readers because the main character, Johnny, is just like them. He is a typical kid with typical kid thoughts and feelings. They will be able to read along to a story that is written for children to enjoy.

The reading comprehension activity at the end of the story further expands upon the capabilities of "Johnny's Birthday Surprise" being used as a teaching tool. Teachers can order this book in bulk or in sets and use it to teach Reading to the whole class. Parents can order a single copy of the book and use it as an enjoyable way to bond and learn with their child at the same time.

The capabilities are endless.
