Animal Alphabet

Title: Animal Alphabet

Author: Alex Lluch

Illustrator: David Defenbaugh

Genre: Alphabet book/Picture book

Summary: Animal Alphabet shows animals that begin with each letter of the alphabet. You see the letter and part of the animal on one page and then on the following page you see the animal and it's name.

Grade Level: Birth - First Grade

Comments: I enjoy this book because it is interactive. The children are offered clues to help figure out what comes next. The letter and a partial picture are the clues. The children can use their letter sounds and their previous knowledge to come up with the animal. Infants and toddlers will enjoy the illustrations. The Preschoolers and Kindergarteners will be able to read this book on their own which is important to help them become more independent readers.

This book has a Brown Bear Brown Bear feel with the guessing of the next animal to come but by putting them in alphabetic order it adds another dimension. Great pictures too!
