I'm actually on my way to Vegas right now.

I'm having the best time this summer reading children's books at my leisure.
Proud Book Nerd!
This week I'm sharing 21 kid-pleasing ABC books with you.
At the beginning of the school year, I read one alphabet book each day. Love them!
A, My Name is Alice by Alethea Kontis
My students love this book about a group of animals (and their spouses) who sell something from every letter of the alphabet in a place from every letter of the alphabet! Perfect for a BTS writing activity.
Steven Kellogg's beautiful illustrations add to the fun in this book!

Not sure if you can find a new copy of this book, but a used copy is still great!
Such a fun rhyming ABC book!
