When my son was a toddler, part of our bedtime routine involved Zachary choosing a letter of the alphabet and me weaving a story around that letter. The story had to be about some animal, bird or any living breathing species that started with the letter of the night. I tried to include some life lessons into each story. It was a superbly entertaining game trying to find species that matched the letter my son chose, and ensuring that somehow before I got to the end of a story, there was also a useful message. Years went by, and when much older, my son encouraged me to compile the stories into a book format. Thus was born this collection 'Alphabet Animals'. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them up! Walk tall, think proud, have fun and let imagination be your guide.
