Children's Literature - Danielle Williams

The best way to introduce children to reading and learning is to make learning engaging and fun. Slater has done an admirable job of creating rhymes set to familiar children's songs. The songs take each letter by turn and use as many words that begin with the letter as possible that will fit into a very short song. The illustrations are whimsical and somewhat interactive in that several illustrations have colorful or pop-up inserts, though just as many have no additions. The book is accompanied by a CD featuring each of the songs in turn. Simple and slightly folksy, the songs are fun and easy to learn, though it is difficult to imagine how the CD could be resourced in anything outside of a children's hour at a local library or in a daycare center. That being said, the songs would be very easy to incorporate into a pre-school or daycare environment and would easily engage five to ten young children for the length of the CD.
