So In "That's Silly!" on pages 18 and 19 In each issue, we Invite children to use what they are learning to decide what's silly In these colorful Illustrations of everyday life. When 1 share "That's Silly!" with children, they respond enthusiastically. Hands shoot up quickly when 1 ask, "What silly things do you see?"
