An Alphabet Trip to Limerick Zoo
An Alphabet Trip to the Limerick Zoo is a really fun book which makes us of the 26 letters of the alphabet to introduce limericks to a child. For each letter of the alphabet there is a fun poem introducing the particular letter of the alphabet. Learning about limericks can’t get any more fun then reading through this book with my kids.
Written by Jeanette Ramirez a poet and writer and coupled with beautiful boldly colour graphics the book really captured the attention of my boys when I went through it with them.
You can see from this short clip below how lovely the pictures are illustrated and how the limerick adds fun facts about each animal to the 63 page e-book.
The book was a tad hard to digest for my 5 yr old as I had to spend quite awhile explaining to him the different characteristics of the animals showcased in the book. However for my 7yr old he enjoyed the how they were described. I found this book a great way to introduce poetry to young kids and spark off their creativity in writing.
An Alphabet Trip to Limerick Zoo is available in kindle and nooks and even on IPAD so you can read it on the go and keep your kids occupied outside.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
Curious Critters
by David Fitzsimons in the first children’s book which I have reviewed that has great hi-resolution photos of the actual insects/animals.
