Gabby
Joyce Grant, Jan Dolby
Paperback
(Fitzhenry and Whiteside, Dec. 12, 2019)
"Gabby is a colorful and animated picture book that will engage children through its bright illustrations and imaginative text. The story also functions as a creative lesson in how to spell and attach meaning to words. The text by Joyce Grant is skillfully placed on each page to complement Jan Dolby's illustrations. Throughout the book's bright images, colorful letters of the alphabet are embedded into objects appearing in Gabby's playroom. The story shows young readers how letters turn into sounds and come together to spell words." --CM Magazine Gabby reaches up, up, up, to put away her last book when suddenly, the book tumbles out of her hand and the letters inside scatter around her playroom! Before Gabby can collect them all, the letters take on a life of their own, "spelling" disaster! Will Gabby manage to tame her new "word-mates" and show them how letters can also make "f-r-i-e-n-d-s?"
