Andy the Alligator and Colleen the Canary have come to help children learn their ABCs through stories. The Alphabet Stories is a book that assists children to learn and recognize their letters from A to Z. Each letter of the alphabet is associated with a short children's story. The majority of words in each of the stories begin with the designated letter associated with the story. For children, there are some words that are confusing as they sound as if they start with one letter but actually begin with another. This book allows children to learn the letter and then associate many words that start with each letter. By doing so, the child's vocabulary is expanded, their spelling is enhanced, and their pronunciation is magnified. The best way to teach children is through fun learning, which is why Andy and Colleen are here to help.

The simplicity of children's picture books--stories told with illustrations and a few well chosen words or none at all--makes them powerful tools for teaching morals and personal integrity. Children follow the story and see the characters' behaviors on the page and interpret them in the context of their own lives. But unlike many picture books, most children's lives don't feature monsters. This collection of new essays explores the societally sanctioned behaviors imparted to children through the use of monsters and supernatural characters. Topics include monsters as instructors, the normalization of strangers or the "other," fostering gender norms, and therapeutic monsters, among others.

Can you spot Dinaroo and her friends and see what they have found in the dump? Can they recycle it? Or make something new? Written by two leading psychologists, the engaging, colourful, fully illustrated alphabet story in the first part of this book is accompanied by an extensive workbook section. Here you find exercises, in the form of games, to develop the important component skills needed for reading and learning about printed letters. Together you and the child will be able to practice the phoneme (speech sound) awareness and other fundamental language skills that are so important, and often difficult to acquire, for young children who may have dyslexia or speech and language problems. My Special Alphabet Book will provide the vital early support these young children need in literacy. It also includes a user-friendly guide for parents and teachers, as well as extension activities to build awareness of environmental issues.
