Summary: This book is an alphabet book. The introduction tells the story of the letters disappearing, and invites the reader to help find them. The book goes through the alphabet, and shows where we found each letter. A was in an airplane, F was swimming with the fish and L landed in leaves. It continues through the whole alphabet, until at last all the letters are together. It asks the reader to guess where the letters might go if they dissapear again.

Personal rating and reason for rating: *** Good. This book is a fun alphabet book, it is an awesome read aloud, and good for higher readers who can use picture clues to help find each word.

Reading level: 1.7

Interest level: Pre K-1

Possible uses of the text in integrated units of study (reading and writing across the curriculum): I will use this book next year at the very beginning of first grade while we are reviewing the letters. It is a fun book to allow children to explore, and find things on each page that begin with that letter.

Potential Problems or Difficulties: I don’t see any problems or difficulties.
