Runaway Alphabet Review

     Runaway Alphabet is a picture book written by Kari-Lynn Winters and illustrated by Ben Frey. It's a delightful book to read to your children or grandchildren. I enjoyed reading it and hope you do too! Here's an excerpt:
                      At the carnival Pa shivers.
                      "It's c-c-cold. Maybe some
                      food will warm us up."
                      "Pa, listen to the drums!"

                       d-d-ddd-d.
                       d-d-ddd-d.

     The book has an introduction written by Marilyn Chapman, PhD who says that the book promotes 'young children's literacy development'.
     The letters of the alphabet are presented in a fun way. Here's another excerpt:
                       rrrrrr, rumbles the snowmobile that takes people up
                       the mountain. Nan grabs a tube and hops on.
