In animals A-Z: Poems for Early Readers a different approach to teaching the alphabet is taken. It features animals - both familiar and unfamiliar- and utilizes rhyme to teach readers about the alphabet and the animals simultaneously. Vocabulary and illustrations are tailored specifically for early readers, but the book is great for older children who might want to learn more about an animal they know little about, such as Vully Vulture or Slothy Sloth. This book is easy for a child to hold so the animals can become their friends.
