Dumphy the Clumsy Dinosaur

Book excerpt: Dumphy is a Clumsy Dinosaur who is continuously slipping, tripping, or tumbling. His bad luck flops stop when he gets new socks! AUTHORS NOTE: As parents and educators, we can only hope each book our child reads will be a unique experience that provides a chance to learn. In Dumphy the Clumsy Dinosaur, the predictable pattern of relatable rhyming words are based on word families, also called Phonograms. This book helps beginning readers learn many words by grouping three similar word families: - ock: block, clock, rock, sock- op: cop, hop, mop, top- ot: got, hot, not, rot Dumphy is a fun, hilariously engaging book that most kids will read without even recognizing that they're learning. Reading is a new adventure, and we created Dumphy to infuse fun along with learning!
