" The Line That Learned a Lesson" tells a moral while delightfully
engaging young readers to look at the alphabet in a creative, new
way. The Line is very proud that it is straight and tall and brags
about the things that it can achieve. The Line loves its family and
also finds the alphabet irresistible. It can draw 15 letters, but
finds the other 11 impossible to write. What happens when the Line
tries to relax and bend? Is it better to stay true to oneself or to
change? Using a clever approach, this refreshing tale ends with a
happy solution
