| Publisher Description: An alphabet book with a unique difference - The Flying Desk a-z is a fully illustrated picture book that contains an exciting storyline to engage the reader, and improves alphabet knowledge simultaneously. Designed and co-written by a primary school teacher, this alphabet book will educate and give your child the head start they need in life. Imagine embarking on an unforgettable and exciting journey in a flying desk and learning the ABC along the way. The Flying Desk a-z is a story about a boy named Christian who retrieves all of the missing letters of the alphabet which have escaped from his classroom, with the help of his flying desk, and returns them to school. As Christian retrieves each letter of the alphabet, they are tied to the back of The Flying Desk in alphabetical order, just like a tail on a kite. The Flying Desk a-z is not your typical alphabet book where 'a is for apple and b is for ball' but rather will help your pre-schooler develop skills in: - letter and colour recognition - letter formation - learning and identifying common words that start with each letter of the alphabet - learning the letters of the alphabet in their correct alphabetical order - improving their overall literacy, vocabulary and alphabet knowledge. With a common-sense approach to learning the alphabet, The Flying Desk a-z includes real-life scenarios that readers can identify with and that pre-schoolers may encounter in their normal, everyday lives. The book has been structured so that it can be put away for another day without interrupting the flow of the story, and therefore does not have to be read in one sitting. Teachers who have viewed The Flying Desk a-z have been impressed with the age appropriate language used, the content of the book and the beautiful illustrations which help define the meanings of words. Initially parents can point out the objects that Christian encounters that begin with the particular letter that he is searching for, and the beautiful illustrations that help define their meaning. Later as their reading skills improve, the children themselves can read the book as an exciting adventure story. A must-have book for every pre-schooler and Beginner Reader.
