If you love animals and children's books, you are in the right place.
Concepts
Jazzy closes her eyes while the letters run away to hide. Filled with beautiful photographs depicting each letter, Jazzy finds them all. The repetitive text makes reading easier for emergent readers.
I had to change a few things before publishing the hardback so I thought it should get its own name. This is the same book as ABC Jazzy.
This book is a book made with love. At my daughter's baby shower, guests drew images for each letter. After compiling all the illustrations, I added two more images for each letter. The images of family, friends, and memories are all for my granddaughter, Juliette, but I think all kids learning the alphabet will love this book.
This also works as a word dictionary since there is only one word per image.
All the regular shapes are here, circle, square, rectangle, but add to that a few extras like the heart, oval, and diamond. Because I needed to fill the book, I also added a cylinder, a sphere, and a cone. Enjoy the photos of Jazzy with all the shapes.
For every hour of the day, Jazzy does something: Waking up, eating, napping, drinking, playing, and more. With terrific photographs, this book will delight young readers and is a great introduction to reading analog clocks.
A photographic compilation of colorful poetry. Each poem correlates to a color and a month. A great teaching tool for learning the months of the year, poetry, and colors.
