Cozumel is an island in the Caribbean Sea sitting off the east coast of Mexico’s Yucat n Peninsula, opposite Playa del Carmen, close to the Yucat n Channel, and is part of the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. When you are there, you can visit the Mayan Ruins of the Yucatan Peninsula, which is exactly what award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, and photographer John D. Weigand did when they visited Cozumel, Mexico!

The photograph of the arch you see on the cover of this book points the way ancient travelers walked up from the sea to visit the Mayan temple. Our author and photographer took an easier route and didn’t walk from the sea, but took a bus over land, which was much easier! And you can use this ‘learn to read’ book. filled with word repetition and word recognition and rhyme to not only practice reading skills, but to travel vicariously with our author and photographer to see a bit of what they saw when they visited Cozumel. And then, when you are all done reading, watch the free music video that goes with this book on Bellissimavodeo’s YouTube channel for even more learning fun!
