It's Really Cool for Kids to Learn about Common and Uncommon Animals!
The Alphabet Menagerie is a delightful book for young and old, entertaining and educating with humor and clever rhyme.
Kids will love "critters" like Vaquita, Xiphosuran, and Quetzal--"My name is hard, twisting tongues like a pretzel." The verses are fun to read aloud, filled with interesting descriptions about origin, history and habitat. The Moose shares--"We live in the North, where we run around loose!" And the Narwhale adds--"My horn is really a tooth--a tooth grown long."
It's Really Cool ... To Be a Penguin!
It's Really Cool ... To Be a Penguin.
We live'n in snow and ice, but we never dig in.
Our feathers keep us warm, and so very cozy,
From weather so cold and ever so "frozey."
We can't fly but we can swim and "swish."
Our wings are for swimming and for catching fish.
We slide on tummies down under the ice,
Where we swim, swoop and loop, ever so nice.
Enjoy the witty depictions. This book will fully engage the imagination over and over--each time it's read!

Review quote
The Alphabet Menagerie is a truly delightful children's book that entertains with humor and clever rhyme. It's hard to create a unique, new alphabet book, but John Maling has done it all. Kids will love "critters" like Vaquita, Xiphosuran, and Quetzal-"My name is hard, twisting tongues like a pretzel." The verses are fun to read aloud, filled with interesting descriptions about origin, history and habitat. There's Moose, for example-"We live in the North, where we run around loose!" And Narwhale-"My horn is really a tooth-a tooth grown long." Both adults and children can enjoy all the witty depictions. This book will fully engage the imagination over and over-each time it's read!

Dr. Lynn F. Hellerstein Author, See. It. Say It. Do it! " The Alpha Menagerie really talks to the kiddos. It talked to me! Love it." Jake Frakes Author Back to Gammon John Maling presents to us once again a poetry book, The Alphabet Menagerie, that is sure to be loved and enjoyed by children of all ages. Though it was written for older elementary children to read alone, younger children could become totally immersed in this animal adventure. The beautiful verses along with the author's original drawings beg the reader's enthusiastic attention and call for each reader to light that spark of imagination that will carry them forth into this marvelous menagerie of "really cool" critters. Georgann Hall Parachuting Publishing John Maling's The Alphabet Menagerie is a great way to experience why it's cool to be an animal from A to Z! Don Sidle Cartoonist and Illustrator As a former English teacher, reading and writing is close to my heart, and the appreciation for poetry shown by John with his wit, the tempo of his words and engaging readers with familiar and new animals had me reading ... and re-reading ... finding a new treasure in the poem each time.
