Review:

"Teacher Alpha Betty’s class is a veritable alliterative zoo, and all 26 students in her class will have starring roles in this appealing new series. Each book relates a humorous story about one of Alpha Betty’s students, and although there is plenty of alliteration, it never becomes cloying or distracting. The illustrations of the cheerful students are delightful, and the supportive, encouraging attitude of the students toward each other is especially refreshing. Each book contains friend 'Fun Facts' about the animal represented by its main character and simple activities that reinforce the highlighted letter. Children will certainly enjoy these entertaining stories, and adults will appreciate their educational value and positive approach.
Recommended."
