"Hello, hello, hello,
Jessica. My
name is Coco and I am
the Clown
with red hair and a
very, very wide
smile. I will try to
guess your age
and where you live. I
guess you
are
6 years old and you live in
Fort
Wayne. Oh my, Jessica. I am so
good at guessing, I
should be in the circus!"

"Jessica,
I want to stay and
play with you. Would
you like to
ask
Mariah, Fiona, and Gracie to come and
play?
Take your crayons and
color
my balloons,
Jessica. Oh-h-h, I
like the colors that
you painted on the balloons."

"Please take me with
you to
Franklin Elementary School,
Jessica. You and Mariah, Fiona,
and Gracie will each sit at your
own desk. I will have
my own
desk too. We will
listen carefully to
what the teacher,
Miss Jones, is
telling us. One more
thing I must
tell you,
Jessica, don't chew on your pencil!"
Page 8
Miss Jones asked the children
to repeat after her:
A , B, C, D, E, F, G
H , I, J, K, L, M, N, O

"How are you doing,
Jessica?
Now do you think that
you and
Mariah, Fiona, and Gracie can
read your A, B, C's?"
"Oops, we forgot the
last three
letters, X and Y and
Z."
Page 12
"Oh, this game looks
new to
me," said
Jessica. "I am only
6
years old. Will you
help me?"
Coco the Clown replied,
"Turn
back the page and look
at the
letters again. Ask
Mariah, Fiona,
and Gracie to help you draw lines
from the letter A to B
to C. Keep
drawing until you come
to the letter O."

"What a great time we
have
had today at school,"
said Coco.
"Now it is time to go
home. There
we will run and jump
and play
outdoor games. It is
good to get
exercise every day,
Jessica. It is
not good to stay
indoors and
watch TV too much.
Exercise
keeps us healthy."

"Watch me brush my
teeth,
Jessica," said Coco the Clown. "It
is easier to brush your
teeth when
you have a big smile on
your face.
Jessica, make a big smile in front
of your bathroom mirror
every day.
It will start your day
right and make
everybody else happy
too."

"Oh-oh, raindrops!"
moaned
Coco the Clown. "I have
on my
long, yellow coat and
my wide,
floppy shoes and I will
stay dry. I
must be careful at the
bus stop
with no pushing or
shoving other
boys and girls.
Remember this,
Jessica, and remind Mariah, Fiona,
and Gracie too."
Page 20
"The sign reads,
'SCHOOL
BUS'. Use a pencil,
Jessica, and
follow the dots to draw
the school
bus. Start with number
1. If you
turn the page you can
see what
comes after number 1."
Page 23
"Please ask
Mariah, Fiona, and
Gracie to read these numbers from
1 to 20.
Jessica, can you make
up rhymes to learn your
numbers?
I'll start," said Coco
the Clown.
"1, 2 What shall I do?
3, 4 Shut the door.
Let me see if you can
do it, 5,
6....go ahead,
Jessica, you try it."

"A birthday cake
without any
candles!" cried Coco
the Clown.
"Jessica,
please draw candles on
my birthday cake. Ask
Mariah,
Fiona, and Gracie to help you."
"How many candles shall
we
draw?" asked
Jessica.
"That is up to you to
do the
guessing this time.
Guess how old
I am," giggled Coco the
Clown.
Page 27
"Jessica,
you are very smart.
Are you ready for
another
guessing game?"
squealed Coco
the Clown. "When I call
out the
name of a food, you
guess what
color it is.
Jessica, you point to
the same color shown in
the little
square drawings. READY?
GET
SET! GO!"
APPLES GRAPES

"On page 30, you can
see 4
shapes,
Jessica. A circle, a
triangle, a rectangle,
and a square.
A circle has no sides
and is
round like a ball or
pie.
A triangle ALWAYS has
three sides.
A rectangle has 4
sides, but 2
of the sides are long
and 2 are short.
A square has 4 sides,
but all 4
sides are the same
size.
Did you color the 4
shapes on
page 30,
Jessica?"
Page 31
"Jessica,
color the pictures.
Next, draw a line to
connect one
shape to another shape
that looks
just like it. Draw a
line from the
yellow square to the
other square.
Keep on drawing and
making
connecting lines, and
soon your
work will be done."
