Sabrina B Moore: Mr. P Did It!, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Mr. P Did It! is a series of six stories that highlight key events in the life of a man who did not learn to read until he was over 60 years old. Each story is based on the author's recollection of a key event from Mr. P's life that reveals the reasons for and the consequences of his inability to read.

The first three stories, "Mr. P Sets a Goal," " Mr. P Goes to School," and "Mr. P Runs Away," introduce Mr. P as a young boy with feelings and emotions to which most children can easily relate. The final three stories, "Mr. P Almost Gets Killed," "Mr. P Goes to College," and "Mr. P Learns to Read," present the main character as an adult and allow readers to express concern, pity, and joy for their new friend, Mr. P.

By chronicling key events in the life of Mr. P as he struggles with illiteracy, the author hopes young and not-so-young readers will be inspired to believe that with faith, determination, and perseverance, all obstacles-including illiteracy-can be overcome.
