An A to Z Walk in the Park

  Welcome everyone! We are going to visit a park which is full of interesting animals of all kinds. In the process we are going to exercise our alphabet muscles. For each letter of the alphabet we are going to find a whole collection of animals whose name begins with that letter. In addition we are going to use words in a creative way to describe our journey and the animals we see.

  So, for the letter B we are going to see, among other things, a bear, a baboon, a badger, and a bee. We are going to also use the words “batch” and “bounds” to describe our finds. For the letter L we are going to “lure in the king of the jungle” and we are going to “luck out” with such creatures as a llama, a lemur, a ladybug, and a lizard.

  In this title R. M. Smith has found a very creative way to explore the alphabet using animals as the focus of the journey. The text is clever, and the lovely illustrations are clever and a joy to look at.
