I thought this was a good book to help introduce the alphabet to youngsters. Throughout the story, each letter is presented and then has a word or words associated with it. While the words themselves don’t tell a story, the pictures do. This was would be a great read as well for children to use the pictures to figure out what is happening throughout the story and in this case, the animals school day.

This is a different spin on alphabet books. Annie, Bea and Chi Chi Dolores share their day at school, while teaching us about the alphabet. It shows the activities that the girls complete throughout the school day while focusing on the alphabet.

Very basic book. Good for toddlers

This book goes through every single letter of the alphabet. One every page there is a letter of the alphabet, a picture, and a descriptive words. This book would be good for students that are learning the alphabet.

This book would serve Pre-K well. It introduces the alphabet using capital letters and words that are easy to recognize and repeat for small children. The illustrations are fun and show action which keeps the reader interested in the upcoming letter.

While it's not an overly-exciting read, the kids like flipping through it. What's cool is that there's sign language at the back along with other learning resources.

And c'mon. "Chi Chi Dolores" is really fun to say.

Different animals go over everyday school objects while going through the alphabet. This book can help students associate things they see in their everyday lives with letters, and start building their vocabulary.

Annie Bea and Chi Chi Delores is a GREAT book! It teaches students their alphabet, along with sign language and it even has a game in the book. I would love to teach my student's sign language once they have mastered the alphabet.

I would read this on the 1st day of school to introduce the alphabet and some activities and items that students may encounter during the school year.

I would use this book in a language arts lesson to teach kids about verbs. I would have them do a work out routine after.

This is a book about Annie Bea and Chi Chi Delores going to school. Each page has a word that goes with the alphabet. I would use this in pre-k to get them familiar with the alphabet.
