Praise for Animal Antics A to Z
“Bravo for Kane Press. Animal Antics A to Z is a superior alphabet series. The whimsical characters and wonderful illustrations will have children smiling, laughing, and wondering what will happen next, while learning to recognize letter sounds. A delightful and thoroughly original way to supercharge beginning readers.”
—Roger Farr,
Chancellor’s Professor, Emeritus, Indiana University; 
Past President, International Reading Association

Each book in Animal Antics A to Z:
• tells a humorous story children will relate to and want to hear again and again
• focuses on a single letter sound (phoneme)
• offers numerous opportunities for children to practice finding the phoneme at the beginning, middle, and end of many words
• includes a fun activity to stimulate children’s curiosity

Barbara deRubertis has written more than 30 books for children, including Kane Press’s popular Let’s Read Together® series, about which School Library Journal wrote: “Story lines are silly and inventive, and recall Dr. Seuss’s The Cat in the Hat for the building of rhyming words.”


Award-winning artist R.W. Alley has illustrated over 100 books for children. He is best known for the PADDINGTON BEAR series by Michael Bond, Because Your Daddy Loves You by Andrew Clements, Tiger Can’t Sleep by S.J. Fore, and There’s a Wolf at the Door by Zoe Alley (Booklist Starred Review, NCTE Notable Children’s Book). He has received numerous awards and starred reviews for his works.
