ABCs of VIRTUE
language
(SamiTales July 3, 2011)
ABCS of VIRTUE introduces preschoolers and early readers to the letters of the alphabet. Through imaginative scenes using the SamiTales' characters, simple objects representing each letter are creatively displayed. The symbolic representations of the 8 Virtues are cleverly hidden throughout the pages to encourage a 'search and discover' dialogue between adult and child. A Reader Reference User Guide at the end of the story provides definitions for challenging vocabulary words. An activity asks children to look back at each page to discover other pictures or ideas that begin with each letter, as well as other cool things hidden in each illustration.
