The Joy of Letters, Laughter, and Little Creatures in "Alphabet Animals"
When I set out to create this collection, I wanted each letter of the alphabet to come alive with its own spirit and story. The result is a playful parade of animal characters, each matched to their letter not only by name, but by the words and world around them. From the determined stomp of a Daring Dolphin to the slow sway of a Sleepy Sloth, every page invites young readers to explore language through rhythm, rhyme, and imagination.
Some animals build, some bounce, some whisper. Each poem introduces a new personality, using simple vocabulary that is fun to read aloud and easy for children to remember. There is a quiet joy in discovering how letters can sound, feel, and move when paired with a creature who fits them perfectly. The pages are filled with acrobatic alliteration, but the real magic comes from watching kids laugh or lean in as they meet each new character.
"Alphabet Animals" is a collection of short adventures, each told in six four-line stanzas that carry rhythm, warmth, and a sense of discovery. Whether it is the Kindhearted Kangaroo tying bows or the Rowdy Raccoon rattling cans, every poem turns a letter into a moment worth remembering.
This book was made to be read aloud, whether at bedtime, in the classroom, or during any quiet minute when curiosity strikes. It was written with early readers in mind, but it belongs to anyone who enjoys a story told in rhyme and animal characters who stay with you long after the page is turned.
