I have had the pleasure to speak at two conferences in the last month with Peter Catalanotto, and if you have not yet seen him speak, go out and do it ASAP. This book is my new favorite read aloud! Ever been in a class with two students with the same first name? Try teaching 26 kindergartners with the same name, “Matthew.” Each Matthew has a characteristic that fits a particular letter of the alphabet, which also makes this book an outstanding alphabet tool. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. A MUST READ FOR ALL AGES!!!!!
