Description

<p><b>A riotous, quirky nonsense-poetry alphabet with a focus on literacy featuring bright and silly illustrations of a diverse cast of characters.</b></p>
<p><i>A Very Silly Alphabet</i> is a collection of twenty-six delightful read-aloud poems. It’s playful and packed with wonderful words and curious characters – like little Leila, who just cannot stop licking things, and Queen Quinlan the Querulous, a wretched quibbler. Will Silly Sally find happiness with a sausage by the sea? Will Idris Iago Inigo Crump ever get the lump out of his pillow?<br><br>
Created by former literacy teacher Jeannie Hillman, <i>A Very Silly Alphabet</i> is intended to stretch the idea of an alphabet book past introducing and promoting familiarity with letters toward helping children develop phonetic, as well as phonic, awareness in a light-hearted, fun context.<br><br>
Readers will love the rhythms, rhymes, and tongue-twisters of this absolutely ridiculous alphabet — and may learn a thing or two! A joyful read-aloud that will appeal to all ages.</p>
