WINNER, 2008 SILVER Moonbeam Children's Book Award
Rhyming poems and lush illustrations present an alphabet of sounds, from acorns cracking under bicycle wheels to zippers zipping on sleeping bags during family camping trips. In between, an alphabet of sounds to explore, experience, and share. Children will be inspired to listen more closely to sounds in their everyday lives, imagine sounds they haven't yet heard, experiment with creating new sounds, even sharpen their listening skills. Parents and teachers, this is a book you'll want to read aloud.
Ages 3 and up. Hardcover, dust jacket, full-color illustrations, 8 1/2" x 10 1/2", 32 pages.
ISBN-13: 978-1-934277-02-7
PRAISE:
from Children's Literature:
Never have the letters of the alphabet been laid out in such a refreshing and unique way as this
it reads more like a piece of children's literature than an ancient primer of the ABC's. A fantastic addition to the classroom or home.
from Arlington Independent School District:
A collection...tht students will truly enjoy. Great for reading aloud. Writing teachers will love it! The poems can be easily used to teach sound words, adverbs, adjectives and word choice. The pictures are very colorful and will draw the student's attention.
from Midwest Book Review Children's Bookwatch:
The color illustrations by Brian Barber brim with vigor and enthusiasm, in this lovely read-aloud ABC book highly recommended for children's library collections.
