What a wild and wonderful way to learn to identify the letters of the alphabet and a whole host of animal life. Each page of this delightful book is dedicated to one of the twenty-six letters of the alphabet. Each letter literally pops with a new animal accompanied by fun text describing the animal’s behavior. The following is the text describing the Jaguar:

A real cool cat, I slink through the South
American jungle, where my spots make me
almost invisible.
I’m a grade-A climber and I love to swim.

This book is beautifully made and story time ready. It is easy to imagine children wanting to get up and imitate the animals that they are encountering on this WILD adventure.

This book is part of the Nonfiction Monday Round-Up hosted this week by Apple With Many Seeds blog.
