Meet 26 curious creatures, one letter sound at a time.

This is the book that ties the whole Animals A to Z collection together.

Each page pairs a playful rhyme with one animal, highlighting the most common sound its letter makes. Kids trace the uppercase and lowercase letters with a finger, learn a fun fact, and search the illustrations for hidden details and surprise friends.

The animals are shaped to echo their letters, so the picture helps kids remember the letter and its sound together.

Every copy we ship is signed by the author, Ashley Jankowski.

10/10 resource bundle! This has been such a great tool for my kids. Everything is perfectly designed for little hands, and my three-year-old has learned all of his letters and sounds through the games and flashcards. We love how engaging and hands-on everything is, making learning feel like play!

Beautiful Book!

My three-year-old is obsessed with this book! He loves matching the pages to the corresponding flashcards and letter tiles from the matching game we have. The book is beautifully designed, and we love that it focuses on lowercase letters. It has been such a wonderful resource for our homeschool routine and a fun way to build letter recognition skills.

A great addition to our homeschool routine!

This matching game is a fabulous resource for my kindergartner and my younger preschooler! We homeschool, and we love incorporating games into our lessons, so this has been such a fun and helpful way to practice phonics and letter recognition.
The tiles themselves are extremely well made and durable. They don’t fray or bend, even with little hands putting them through the ultimate durability test — haha! A great addition to our homeschool routine!

Great for little hands!

These flashcards are awesome! We love that they feature lowercase letters, and I love pairing them with the corresponding letters for different activities. My kids use these in a variety of ways — from letter recognition and phonics practice to animal recognition with my youngest. The illustrations are beautiful, and the quality of each card is great. They are sturdy and don’t bend easily, which is a huge plus for little hands!

cohesive and intentional!

This bundle is absolutely fabulous! It’s perfect not only for my six-year-old who is entering first grade, but also for my three-year-old who is just learning his letters. The quality is top-notch, and everything feels so cohesive and intentional together. You can tell a lot of thought went into putting this bundle together, and it has been such a great addition for both of my kids at different learning stages. Highly recommend!

I honestly didn’t expect these to be so thick and sturdy—they’re perfect for little hands! My kids have been sticking them everywhere to practice letters, simple words, and phonics. They peel off clean with no residue and are truly restickable! The illustrations are adorable too. We’re obsessed!!

This book is awesome

My 6 YO loves this book! The rhyming is super fun & engaging. He always wants to find the "hidden" letter animal. We have the 2" letters and so when we're eating I often use this as an activity to keep him engaged. He goes through and finds the letters and matches them.
