"""A great tool for language learning at the phonological level, ... [A] unique way for children to build reading and writing skills..."" - Sherry Artimenko, M.A., C.C.C., Speech Language Pathologist ""Author Linda Jones and her illustrator son Branson Jones has created a wonderful pre-k/kindergarten book to teach kids the capital letters. The wonderful rhyming descriptions explain how to draw the letters, gives a word to help remember the letter. As a teacher who started out teaching kindergarten I can definitely see the value in having this book on your shelf. If I was teaching kindergarten today I would project one letter at a time, read the rhyme and have the students practice drawing the letter. I think this should be on every kindergarten classroom shelf.""-- Sandra K. Stiles ""Do your young readers and writers ever wonder why the letters of the alphabet are shaped the way they are? The answers to their questions can finally be answered. The letter C has an interesting tale. Her right side is open so cats can come for a cozy little catnap. The letter J on the other hand runs straight down and then jumps into a curve. The letter O is for obstacles that never get in the way. Young readers can get excited about learning the alphabet and learning new words. This rhyming story has colorful pictures that show each letter in its natural habitat. Not only that, young readers will learn how to write each letter and understand its sound. Author Linda Jones utilizes the four core elements that help teach reading."" -- Kristi's Book Nook ""Linda and Branson Jones, mother and son, author and illustrator, produced this witty, rhyming, colorful book for children showing unusual, clever, and fun pictures of each of the 26 letters. The book reveals what the capital letters do behind the scenes when the letters aren't busy doing their main job of making words. The two-line rhymes about each letter tell children about the letters' shape and sound. This information works to help children learn about the letters, words, and sentences.For example, the letter A shows a smiling letter with a belt for its middle section, and below the imaginative picture has: A has a point at the top of her head. Under her belt, she hides apples so red. A - Apples"" -- Israel Drazin, Top Reviewer ""ALPHABET ANATOMY: MEET THE CAPITAL LETTERS by Linda Ann Jones and Branson Jones is an exciting children's books with beautiful illustrations.
