BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K – ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

This book goes through an alphabet of animal sounds and passes through a variety of habitats from farms, to artic, to forest, to jungle and more. The author had a to get a bit creative and use some verbs to make the rhymes work like : Jump, kiss, utter, and vroom. The colors and are bright, the creatures are happy and active.

This is a very energetic and fun book to read with a pre-k child. They would have enjoy trying to identify the wide variety animals and even some of the places. The cover is appealing and it’s a loud way to learn the alphabet.

I enjoyed this one! By not limiting himself to single uses of each letter, the author made this much more enjoyable than many alphabet stories. Personally, I really appreciated the giant "L" made by the alligator...or is is a crocodile? I can't ever tell. The rhythm bounced along nicely until that poor "x," which, sadly, failed miserably. I can't blame the author, really. There's not much that can happen with "x." Still, it did sour the book a little, moving it from a 4 to a 3.

If you make the noise and actions the kids love it.

Reading this alphabet board book I could just see the participation of little readers reading along with the story and the sounds the various animals make.

[Isla Terry · Rating 5 out of 5]

Isla loves all the noises mommy makes when she reads this book. It’s a different take on the typical ABCs book.

[Erin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great way to talk about animals is to practice their sounds. Daphne loves the sounds. Particularly the elephant.

Excellent application of an ABC book! Some unusual words and circumstances, and the author managed to group several sound letters together by ecosystem. A winner!

We got this book for our baby shower. This is one that I have already read to Fiona multiple times! It goes through the alphabet by using animal sounds. An added bonus is that the pictures are beautiful.

Do you know how noisy the alphabet can be? This great read-aloud book is perfect for primary ages. All the onomatopoeias in this book make the alphabet come to life and make learning the alphabet fun!
