Alphaboat

Alphaboat is a fun read that tests the reader's ability to understand the meaning of what they are reading. The illustrations are wonderful. I find I understand it better every time I read it and find something funny that I missed the first, second, third..time I read it. You will want to read and reread this one. Great for a Lit. Lesson for Intermediate grades too.

I enjoyed this book, and so did many of my friends. In 1st grade, i loved it. I just recently read it again in 6th grade, and I still enjoy it!

A very witty book! As an English major who has worked in writing and editing, I found that this book quickly won me over. I read it to my 4 year old and I know he didn't get everything, but it will grow with him. His favorite part was the silent E (" "). It is so filled with clever word play and illustrations that it takes more than one reading to catch them all.

This is a clever, funny book that will hold a child's interest for many years. Younger children will enjoy the rhyming story about a group of letters that go treasure-hunting. Children learning to read, write, and spell will enjoy the letter puns in the story and illustrations. Older kids and adults will like finding all the little jokes and puns, like the map showing the "ball point" peninsula and other landmarks.We bought this book about a year ago. After countless readings, it is still a fresh, fun read.

What a fun book! Michael Chesworth has filled this high C's adventure with loads of puns and visual jokes that will keep a reader coming back to it again and again. The fact that he was able to do so in smooth, jaunty rhyme makes the book even more impressive. This is one of those great finds, a fresh, intelligent picture book that both kids and adults will enjoy over and over.
