Today, we're shining the pre-pub light on the latest storybook release from B.C.R. Fegan via Taleblade Press!  It's a work of edutainment, in that it combines whimsical fun and merriment, while still imparting some valuable knowledge to the kiddos along the way...in this case two lessons *giggle* but more on that in moment.  If you've read his previous releases, you know you're in for some fun as well as some fabulous illustrations because like Jurassic Park spared no expense, illustrator Len Wen spares no sector of the color palette when creating his delightful images.  So, ready...set...READ...

About the book...
Master Jet has forgotten to complete his homework… or has he? Jet’s teacher is surprised to find that instead of the alphabet, his page is completely blank. Jet tries to explain that it really isn’t his fault. After all, how can he help it, if none of his letters want to stay on the page!






~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


This delightful story stars little Jet.  He was suppose to write his alphabet, but the darndest thing happened when he tried...the A RAN AWAY!  Well, when B found out, what do you suppose they did?  Yep, followed in A's footsteps, and so we continue the conga line of runaway letters straight through to Z...much to chagrin of our pupil and the slight amusement of our teacher.  It's quite literally a waterfall of letters making their way over seas, across parks, even hiding out after dark, because try as little Jet might, he just couldn't seem to corral them onto his page!  Good thing teacher happens to know a little trick to get these tricky letters to stick where they should...


As with my reads of the author's past works, I was delighted to see how the somewhat simple task of learning the alphabet was taken to a new level not only to show the importance of learning our ABC's, but also that of completing something you were tasked (or suffer the consequences because little Jet's pencil is gonna get a workout!).  With every turn of the page, we're greeted with another letter, fleeing in some direction other than Jet's notebook paper, in brightly colored hues, complete with little attitudes.  My favorite?  Oh, that's a tough one...I suppose I have to say one of them had to be the letter R.  Her sense of style was above the book, or so she said, and honestly it showed in her outfit and facial expression so well!

A great read for the kiddos just learning their ABCs as well as a classroom story time selection...provided you can get the letters to stay!
