For each letter, a creature is spotlighted and framed by a colorful border featuring other organisms whole names begin with the same letter . . . all of the flowing, fluid pictures are full of action and detail.

Review of A Fly in the Sky, A Swim Through the Sea, and A Walk in the Rainforest) “Yet again, Dawn Publications has encouraged a talented young writer/illustrator to test her wings and fly, with remarkable results. These three paperbacks encompass animal-alphabet teaching which young children will enjoy for the rhymes, while older readers delve into the fascinating facts included on every page. My young students delighted in reading aloud to each other the repetitions in each letter (five fuzzy feasting fruit bats), helping them to learn about basic biology. Teachers everywhere will appreciate these helpful volumes, reminiscent of Judy Sierra’s “There’s A Zoo in Room 22,” and will add Pratt’s titles to their classroom shelves. Highly recommended.”
