★★★★★ "A gift for our 7 year old granddaughter. She loved reading it before our trip to Alaska in July."
A is for Alaska combines dazzling photos with fun and informative couplets which describe the pictures and offer clear picture-word associations. Intriguing facts will add to the non-fiction learning experience.
This book covers subjects important or significant to Alaskans and includes brilliant color photography by top photographers. Each vibrant page highlights a unique aspect of Alaska's beauty and lively culture with either a place, animal, plant or another evocative idea.
The book's eye-popping design and educational content will hold the child's interest through countless readings. In addition to the 26 letters of the alphabet is the "Who Knew?--Facts about the great state of Alaska" section which gives parents, teachers, and even kids a deeper understanding of the topic for each letter of this Alaska alphabet.
Review Quotes
"Few things are sweeter than a child's early poems: simple, touching, and at times more insightful than expected. And since children often know best how to capture the interest and imagination of other children, an educational picture book filled with kids' poems just might bring rote learning to life. Such is the case with C IS FOR COLORADO." --Diane Gardner, ForeWord Review, 2012
