A Peeper in My Pocket - A Zany Peep at the ABC's

by Sandy Pugh, Dana Clerkin (Editor)

Overview

A Peeper in My Pocket uses the zany Peeper characters to guide children on a lyrical journey through their ABC's in quatrain rhymes. Peepers bring fun, originality and whimsy to the hearts of the young and old alike. These colorful and lively creatures make everyone smile - which is why the Peepers make learning the ABC's a lot more fun while broadening a child's vocabulary. No Longer is "A" just for Apple and "B" just for Ball when a child follows the Peepers along this journey though sights, sounds and colors.

Editorial Reviews

"Peeper in My Pocket" is a wonderful interactive text with engaging rhymes and rhythm. It's a perfectly fun read aloud for preschool and primary-age children and an excellent mentor text for writing ABC books for elementary-age children. Additionally, the text supports vocabulary development for the very young as the child searches for the lovable Peeper characters and describes their action or location.

My girls (6, 4 and 15 mo) thoroughly enjoyed this book. They loved trying to decide which peeper was their favorite and ended up choosing them all! The pictures are colorful and crazy. I recommend this book for anyone who is working with a child on letter recognition, rhyming or reading.
