Cleo-Cat-Tra’s ABCs

Description

by Lucy Gerringer

Names, names, names—A good starting place for children to learn the alphabet by recognizing letters in familiar names. The joy of connecting to their own names becomes meaningful to children. Names hold great attraction for children and, for many, are the first words they learn to recognize by sight. What a fun and easy way to teach young children the ABCs! Children love the bright colors and charming illustrations in this book. Cleo-cat-tra’s ABCs takes a child through the alphabet filled with animals which are whimsically engaged in child- friendly activities from A to Z…Yes, there is even an animal with a name that starts with the letter X. Young children enjoy following the main character, Cleo-cat-tra, as they learn the alphabet. They discover the upper- and lower-case letters on each page and the repeating color pattern of the alphabet letters. They will also delight in finding Mario the mouse throughout the book as well as other activities at the back of the book.
