When it's fall and a chill is in the air, it's time for little goose to fly south for the first time. But the letter "V" isn't the only letter of the alphabet this gosling wants to try as his alphabet adventure takes wing.
The alphabet picture book, Flying V, puts a creative twist on the annual migratory patterns of the Canada Goose, and finds geese flying in all the letter shapes of the alphabet. With creative visual perspectives, the reader will see things from a bird's-eye view as Little Goose flies through the alphabet on his way to winter nesting grounds. Children will delight in spotting his red scarf as he imagines himself within the flight patterns. Not only will this book reinforce the alphabetic principle for young children but will also lend itself to building background information and comprehension skills with the added details of the illustrations. Artistic concepts are an added bonus with perspective drawings capturing the main characters and their surroundings. Little goose will help imaginations and creativity soar as he looks at flying in a whole new way.Author Biography
