Eating the Alphabet with Alex the Alligator


This first book of mine was written as a silly way to combine the print-rich classroom with preschool alphabet games.   

We were already using the homemade alligator game to feed the alligator the alphabet soup. 
That idea came from Pinterest. 

This book created another visual link to the tactile game.  I have watched many children re-enact the story in the classroom after they are read the book.  It is easy to group all the items together in a basket and leave it for them to choose as a game.  Education can be play for them.  

Mostly Healthy

As a teacher and a mom,  I try to encourage healthy eating.  The pictures that I  put into the book are mostly healthy.    When it came to some letters like D, I decided to go with doughnut instead of date, because I wanted the kids to be able to associate the pictures with real things.   Dates look too much like raisins and I thought it might cause confusion.  


Puppet


You can find my puppet online at my Teachers pay teachers site.

This was another idea for learning with play in the classroom and then kids can take it home.

You get both printable copies.   Full color & Black and white for coloring.



you can find the book on amazon 

also available as an ebook
