This book is appropriate for pre-k and kindergarten students because the letters are big with different colors and are paired with fun animal pictures. Each letter is paired with an animal and an adjective. For example H is for hippopotamus and hungry.
- I could use the book to teach the alphabet
- Each day I would work with one or two letters and have children write the letter and draw a picture of an animal. When we finish all the letters I would make their work into a book for them to take home. I would help the children write the animals name and the adjective. Each day I would have different materials for the children to use (stencils, paint, crayons, markers).

Fun alphabet book that could easily be used to introduce kids to different emotions. We could use for our ELL kids during our unit "The Art of Getting Along." It teaches different emotions. Angry, Bashful, Zany. Kids could practice the different facial expressions in a fun way.

Every day I inventory and review one book for my Pooh Project, but for quite a while I have also just inventoried one book from my home library. Today though I hit the Sandra Boynton shelf, and it seems a shame to not read such cute little books when they're in my hand. And reading doesn't count if
I love this alphabet book. It looks so simple and spare, as each page has an animal for the letter and an emotion or other adjective, but it is so easy to discuss with a little one or spin tales about what the animals are doing. If two letters share a spread, there is often a little cross-over or contrast linking the two that adds to the fun. And the animals are just adorable. And the turkey trap on T makes me laugh every time.
