ALL ABOARD! This book is a bout a blue engine train, that takes an alphabet train trip through all the letters from A to Z. As the train travels through the countryside readers will guess what letters they will see on the ride. There are colorful illustrations to go along the ABC journey.

This book would be good to use in a theme about manners. It would also be good for the first week of school as an introduction to the school rules. For older children, it could be a model for a writing class of how to make a book to teach a new skill.… (mere)
