Product Description
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-Using a familiar format, this author and illustrator team has created a dynamite book. For each letter of the alphabet there is a mystery animal whose identity can be guessed from clues in the accompanying rhyming riddle. The first and last letter of the creatures' names are also provided. Many are familiar-monkey, snail, and turtle, for example; but several not so familiar beasts-newt, quail, and zebu-also stalk these pages. The rhymes are packed with vivid descriptions: "I'm five letters long. I start with a Q./I roam through the woods/and through grassy fields, too./Bob-Bob-white! I chatter/while my noisy wings clatter./People hunt me for game./Can you guess my name?" At the end of the book, the animals are listed, along with a page of "Ideas for Parents and Teachers." The full-color illustrations are also splendidly mysterious, for only a part of each animal is depicted. The appealing cover in bold colors will draw children to this book while the riddles will captivate them.

Playful Learning,
By Rebecca Johnson "The Rebecca Review" (Washington State) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: ABC Animal Riddles (Hardcover)
ABC Animal Riddles is part of a series of books designed to encourage readers to develop phonemic awareness. The riddles also encourage children to develop their problem-solving skills. Many of the animals in this book are not shown in their full size or are partially hidden by their environments. So, children not only have to figure out what the animal is, they have to learn the spelling. Fortunately they also include a list of the names of the animals at the back of the book. A trip to a zoo would be a fun way to introduce this book. Susan Joyce also gives additional ideas for how to make up your own riddles. L_ _ _ _ _ _ g and the rhyme: I start with an L and end with a G. On the page there is a picture of a farm and to the right an enlarged picture of half a beetle shell. Other animals featured with rhymes: ant, beaver, camel, duck, elephant, firefly, giraffe, hippopotamus, iguana, jellyfish, kangaroo, monkey, octopus, quail, rhinoceros, turtle, emu, whale, fox and zebu. ~TheRebeccaReview.com
