Synopsis "Andy the Alligator Learns His ABC's"
1. A FEW WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR: Hi, I am Andrew Dong, a passionate children's book author. I have worked as a story designer, illustrator and voice actor. Nothing makes me happier than engaging kids' love of learning. I was inspired to write this book, Andy the Alligator Learns His ABC's, while I was observing how kids learn the alphabet. Although there are plenty of books on this topic, kids still often find them too dry. I collected the most relevant vocabulary words and topics for children in the K-3 grade range and then connected them using cute animals, names, alliteration, aesthetic themes, and treasure-hunting interactive games. I iterated the book by seeking feedback from kids and parents, as well as teaching the book myself. I am truly grateful for the very positive reviews from my readers, including a Hall of Fame Top 10 Reviewer of Amazon. I hope that the book becomes an interesting and helpful part of the early learning experience for as many kids as possible. I also hope for Andy the Alligator to become a fond friend of your loving family! HI FROM ANDY (AN INTRODUCTION FROM THE MAIN CHARACTERS): Andy wants to learn the alphabet! He is an Alligator with an undying love of airplanes; In his free time, he often practices acrobatics with aliens! He has a group of interesting and funny friends: from Grace, the golf-loving, golden giraffe, to Mary, a mall-managing magical monkey... Andy never has a shortage of supportive friends to help him figure out the ABC's! Andrew Dong's children's picture book is infused with imaginative and entertaining illustrations which are bound to both educate and entertain! Each page features a letter, with a theme intricately connecting many objects starting with that letter. Kids at any reading level can all learn hundreds of words, from basic colors to elementary school-level adjectives by observing the illustrations. The book is designed to let both parents and kids have fun time together beyond just learning the alphabet. The creative alliteration on each page is fun for the kids to read along with their parents. Finding Andy on every page is an added challenge that will certainly keep kids hooked and on their toes. The "Letter Party" page in the end of the book encourages the kid to find all the friends having fun together in one place. How exciting! Have fun reading, laughing and learning the alphabet alongside your friend, Andy the Alligator!
