Description:
"Abby wants to be an astronaut. But she meets an angry alien." "'Only babies blow bubbles,' Badger told Bear. But Bear kept right on blowing. He blew and blew until he had blown... a great big bubble beast!" "Clyde and Cleo are cats--copycats! 'I bet you can't do what I can do,' says Clyde. 'I can too!' says Cleo." Learning the alphabet and the sounds that letters represent is vital to learning to read. There are plenty of fabulous alphabet books on the market, but the AlphaTales series goes above and beyond the traditional approach, devoting a 16-page paperback story-booklet to each letter. Clever alliteration and 26 short, satisfying tales with large, colorful illustrations ensure that young readers-to-be will master the early skills of reading in no time. In every book, children meet an animal character whose name starts with the featured letter: Fifi Ferret, Olive the Octopus, Tilly Turtle, Zack the Lazy Zebra... This alphabet mascot will lead students on an exploration of that letter through an entertaining story, plus alphabet activities, an easy-to-learn rhyming poem, a hide-and-seek picture page, and many helpful reading tips. A handy, hefty cardboard box houses all 26 booklets and a teaching guide. The teacher's guide includes easy lessons, activities, and reproducible versions of each storybook. A wonderful addition to any classroom or homeschooler's library. (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
