New alphabet book makes L=learning and F=fun. At last, an alphabet book filled with all manner of fanciful ideas and illustrations designed to make learning fun for young readers! For each word there is a rhyme that describes some absurd or fantastical sight which is depicted in a whimsical and imaginative way. For instance, there is a pig flying through a donut hole and a monster driving a truck getting stuck in a traffic jam. Animals are discovered in unlikely places doing unexpected things, and everyday objects perform impossible acts. This book is one alphabetical surprise after another. The introduction and the ending wrap everything together in a little story. This is a great read-aloud book for teachers, parents, grandparents and others who want to spend an entertaining and worthwhile time with young children. It can also delight the child who might read it independently, aided by the illustrations to figure out the text. Although this book is intended for children from two to seven years old, someone older or younger just might take a peek and want to go from A to Z.
