4Cagliari is an Italian municipality and the capital of the island of Sardinia, an autonomous region of Italy. And Cagliari's Sardinian name, Casteddu, means castle, so expect to feel very enchanted when you visit. Here is an ancient city upon which many continuous civilizations have been built. If you look carefully, and use your imagination, you can see history in the streets, in the corners and in the eyes of the people. The Province of Cagliari is situated in the southern part of Sardinia, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea on the south and on the east; and although it is said the best way to arrive is by sea, you can travel there vicariously through the pages of this book, and you can see even more of this place by watching the free music video on the Bellissimavideo YouTube channel that goes along with this book.

Written by the award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, and filled with photographs by John D. Weigand, this 'learn to read' book, through the use of word recognition, word repetition and rhyme, lets kids learn and see some of what our author and photographer saw on their visit to this city and port. So put on the walking shoes of your mind, and have some fun as you learn
