About this title

Review:

''Piano and Laylee Text Message'' is a charming illustrated manual for children age 5 and up that teaches texting etiquette for beginning texters. Piano and Laylee are puppy friends whose parents have entrusted them with their own cell phones so they can text them while they are home waiting for a parent to return. Piano and Laylee learn how to text, but they discover that some messages can be misinterpreted, if not thought through carefully. The lesson is simply presented and carefully explained. Colorful illustrations of puppies texting add whimsical charm. Piano and Laylee learn how to be friendly and polite when sending text messages.
