Summary: Alphabet Adventure
Review: Alphabet Adventure is a great book to read aloud to preschoolers. In this new story the letter i looses its dot. It is fun to look for the dot hiding on each page. The children can also use phonics to figure out what each letter is looking for to help letter i find its dot. Each letter finds something that starts with the sound that they make and offer it to letter i as a substitute for the dot. All goes well and the story ends with the letter i finding it's dot. The entire alphabet travels to school to help children learn to read and write. There are many things that could be done to reinforce this book's theme. Alphabet art activities, alphabet books, alphabet games, etc...to name a few. Colorful pictures and a fun easy to read story make this book a sure success in the classroom.

Summary: Sure To Be A Classroom Classic
Review: As a kindergarten teacher, I was excited to find this book in time for the schoolyear to begin. What a wonderful way to introduce the alphabet to a group of wide-eyed children. This is a must-have for all pre-school and primary teachers. The story is charming and simple. Before the letters of the alphabet can go off to school to become "Charley's Alphabet", they are delayed by the loss of the lower case i's dot. All of the letters must help to find the missing dot ... or find a way to make the dot return so that they may get to school in time for Charley, the boy who needs them. Bruce Wood is the illustrator on this book and he has continued the family legacy of producing bright, captivating illustrations which are just begging the reader to look more closely. Indeed, there is a story in the pictures alone. My own eight-year-old daughter read the book and then immediately went back through and looked at the pictures, pointing out little details in each illustration. This is a wonderful book. I can't wait to introduce it to my class.

Summary: Captivating Fun.....
Review: Charley's alphabet has been working hard all summer on Alphabet Island, getting ready for the first day of school. But as their teacher, Capital T, lines up all the lower case letters, it finds that lower case i has lost it's dot. The letters look all over Alphabet Island, but can't find little i's dot anywhere and Capital T is becoming frantic. It's the first day of school, they're going to be late and Charley really needs his alphabet. Fortunately, Capital I has a plan. He thinks i's dot is playing a prank and hiding from everyone and he knows a way to make him come out and save the day..... Audrey and Bruce Wood have authored a marvelous picture book, full of charm and humor that pre-schoolers and emerging readers will want to read again and again. Her easy to read, amusing text moves the mystery along at a good pace. But it's Mr Wood's amazing, bold, bright and busy artwork that make this book stand out and youngsters will enjoy all the wonderful details in each illustration and finding i's dot on each page as it plays hide and seek with the reader. Perfect for youngsters 3-7, Alphabet Adventure is a terrific teaching tool and a delightful way for kids to begin recognizing letters and learning phonics.

Summary: Exciting adventure for PreK and K ages
Review: My children are 5 (boy) and 3 (girl) years old. They both loved this book. The first time we read it it kept their interest. Wonderful story and beautiful illustrations. When you get to the end of the book, you realize that the book is also an "I spy" or "Where's Waldo" type, looking for the book character, little i's, dot. The kids were so excited to read the book again and hunt for the hiding dot.
