Advance Praise
“This alliterative journey through the alphabet enhances any classroom or child’s home library. Baker does a phenomenal job of capturing the attention and minds of young readers. Her educational applications are deep and appropriate and provide teachers and parents a readily available rich resource.”
-Alison Sheffield, Educator, Teacher, Asst Principal
“I found an imaginative style in an enriching educational tool that draws on the knowledge and experience of a teacher and writer who appreciates the nuances of language and children's great capacity and appetite to learn. Children will ask to read it so they can explore the lively and entertaining images, hear and think about the words, and come to see how language builds worlds!
-Jane Gibson, Professor emerita of anthropology
“Armored Armadillo to Zippy Zebra is an alliterative delight for children and for the adults who love them! Carol Robinson Baker has managed to write an ABC book that is engaging for diverse age groups. The hidden objects for each letter keep kids looking for details on each page and, thankfully, there is a list to make sure you find each one. You can’t help but be amazed at the vocabulary development. Words like prawns, quadrupeds, labyrinth, and spunky are waiting to be discussed. As an educator I can declare it a success, but as a grandmother I’m delighted to add it to my bag of tricks!”
-Marla Jaynes, Retired Elementary Teacher, Grandmother
“ Carol Robinson Baker’s first book in the A-Z Animal Adventure Series is a delightful collection of delectable words and engaging pictures. I can imagine the joy I would have had chanting each animal’s alliterative phrase with my daughters, spending time talking about the meaning within each one, then searching for the additional hidden alliterative words on each page. My “teacher brain” is flooded with images of graphic organizers and little personal dictionaries inspired by this clever alphabet/vocabulary book.
-Kay Leary, Elementary Educator and Parent
“As a Speech Language Pathologist, I love using this book during various language activities with my patients! The language is so rich, and the illustrations are engaging, which allows for a variety of communicative interactions. I use this book often with a variety of kiddos and it’s always a blast!”
-Cardin Coleman, SLP Speech Language Pathologist
