Unless you have read this book a million and a half times prior then read-aloud with this book will not be easy. The book teaches the alphabet on each page by emphasizing the letter and creating a short rhyme for the letter below, accompanied by a combination of made up words and real words for comical relief. The nice part about this book is the rhyme flow through such unique words. For example, for the letter A it reads, "A was once an apple pie, pidy, widy, tidy, pidy, nice insidy, apple pie." The letter B reads, "B was once a little bear, beary, weary, hairy, beary, taky cary, little bear!" While the book is very creative in the rhymes it shares, it must be practiced by yourself before introducing it to any little one. Good luck with this book! ( )

This story is an Abc book that goes through each letter of the alphabet. With each letter there is an illustration and a rhythm focused on silly sounds. Although some of the words may be difficult for my ELL Kindys, it is still a funny rhyming book to use in the classroom.
