Why read Animal ABCs with your child

Go letter by letter, and let your child guess the animal before you turn the page. Each letter brings one animal and one short fact, like a jaguar being the largest cat in America, or an octopus having three hearts. Pause on the letters your child knows best and ask what else they know about that animal. By Z, they have met 26 animals and 26 letters.

Talk about it together

Inside the book

Animal ABCs gives one animal for each letter, from A for Aardvark to Z for Zebra. Every animal comes with one short fact, like bees making honey or octopuses having three hearts.

Children gain letter names and animal facts at the same time. The steady A to Z order makes it easy to dip in anywhere and still know where you are.

From the book: “J is for Jaguar. Jaguars are the largest cats in America.”
