The Pleasure of Hearing "Why Did Grandma Put Her Underwear in the Refrigerator?" being Read Aloud in Singapore

By Max Wallack

Puzzles to Remember

Thanks to KYDZ International, I had a very wonderful experience this morning. I was able to watch "Why Did Grandma Put Her Underwear in the Refrigerator?" being read aloud in Singapore. Everyone seemed so interested and involved. Laughter filled the room several times.

I was just filled with pride.

I can't wait to provide the book in Chinese next month, and I hope they will send another video, reading the book in Chinese!
