 DeRubertis Delights with Alpha Betty's Animated Adventures
Young audiences will delight in fun-filled musical stories led by children's author Barbara deRubertis. Barbara has written over 50 children's books and is working on a new Animal Antics series. She is also a beloved former teacher at Vale Elementary School.
From Alexander Anteater to Zachary Zerbra, it's one adventure after another for Alpha Betty's students. Get to know these zany characters as they find new friends, test their talents, go on exciting explorations, and have a rip-roaring, super-sensational totally tremendous good time!
Join us on an adventure with Corky Cub's Crazy Cap Club and Dilly Dog's Dizzy Dancing, delightfully embellished by the musical artistry of the Icicle Creek Piano Trio. Fun is sure to be had by all! Refreshments provided by the Marlin Handbell Ringers.
Each book tells a humorous story children will relate to and want to hear again and again, and each includes a fun activity to stimulate children's curiosity. Each book in the series focuses on a single letter sound (phoneme) and offers numerous opportunities for children to practice finding the phoneme at the beginning, middle and end of many words.
Jeremy Jackrabbit is excited to enter the big jump rope contest. Will he get the jitters—or will his joyful jumping win him a trip to the Jump Rope Hall of Fame?
Praise
"Simple, pleasant stories ... full of action and humor, Alley's expressive artwork adds considerably to the appeal ... a good read-aloud option for parents and a natural for classrooms that celebrate [letter] weeks." — Booklist
"Animal Antics A to Z is a delightful and original way to supercharge young learners. Whimsical characters, humorous plots, and wonderful illustrations will captivate children as they learn to recognize letter sounds" — Nancy L. Roser, Professor, Language and Literary Studies, Univ of Texas, Austin.
"Each alliterative story focuses on a single phoneme or letter sound. Izzy Impala seeks attention from her grandpa by feigning illness, such as infuriating influenza or an impossible injury... Jeremy Jackrabbit wins a jump-rope contest and the prize is a journey to Japan...great facial expressions and body language...Children will enjoy hearing these stories read aloud." — School Library Journal Review
