Brief Summary/Book Usage: This picture book tells cute and catchy poems that help students learn the alphabet. Each letter comes with a fun poem children can follow along with to help them learn each letter they come across. The poems flow well with one another and each deal with animals and having fun outside. The pictures are so fun and colorful and they definitely help convey the poems that much better. I would definitely use this book in a kindergarten setting where the children could use the pictures and poems to better learn their alphabet. Also, going over poetry maybe in 1st grade this book could come into play while refreshing their minds on their alphabet and teaching them about poems at the same time.
