“Cheerful mixed-media artwork illustrates this light, appealing
story.”—Booklist (for books I–J)
“Bravo for Kane Press. Animal Antics A to Z is a superior alphabet
series. The whimsical characters and wonderful illustrations
will have children smiling, laughing, and wondering what will
happen next, while learning to recognize letter sounds. A
delightful and thoroughly original way to supercharge beginning
readers.” —Roger Farr, Chancellor’s Professor, Emeritus, Indiana
University; Past President, International Reading
Association
“This splendid series lets little learners listen for letter sounds
in lively literature! Animal Antics will engage children and
encourage them to play with the sounds that make up words.” —Nancy
L. Roser, Professor, Language and Literacy Studies, University of
Texas, Austin
“Very original! Children will have fun discovering the alliterative
words as they listen to the stories. The memorable characters
and lively pictures have great kid appeal. . . My
students enjoy reading the books with the letter of their
first name as a motivator!”—Madeline Gilbert, Librarian/Teacher,
Mamaroneck Avenue School, Mamaroneck, NY
