Reviews / Votes
"Humorous and punny. An entertaining recommendation for preschool and early elementary school teachers on a quest for alphabet-themed picture books about letter blending." - School Library Journal (starred review)"This witty text incorporates lots of pertinent examples with blends and digraphs highlighted in red. An amusing and applicable story." - Kirkus Reviews
"For beginning readers grappling with the intricacies of both phonics and friend groups, this picture book tackles the two together. Entertaining." - Horn Book Magazine
