What readers say:

Just finished reading The Alliteration Jungle book. Cannot say how enthralled and amazed I was by this book. The animals and illustrations are darling and the writing of the story was so amusing I could not wait to turn the next page. I highly recommend this book for your next baby shower or young one’s birthday. Well done Mrs. Merdian!

I absolutely adore this alliteration book! I read it to my nieces and nephews, and they have a blast practicing the sounds. The vibrant, playful illustrations make it even more engaging! It's the perfect book for young kids to tackle those tricky sounds in a fun and memorable way. They'll be asking to re-read it again and again!

Love this book! Such a fun way for kids to read about a silly, wacky, jungle, while learning about alliteration. The pictures, alliterative text, and rhyme, kept my daughter’s attention throughout the book. The illustrations had her completely engaged-she couldn’t wait to see the next page! The activities at the end added even more excitement.

The Alliteration Jungle is perfect for young readers with its bright illustrations and silly content. The characters are a lot of fun, as they engage in the wackiest scenarios, presented through alliteration and rhyme. My son giggled through the whole book!

What an entertaining book! It’s a fun read for children, but also a perfect teaching tool for the classroom. Whether you’re teaching letter sounds, alliteration, or rhyming, this book will have students’ undivided attention. It’s a perfect example of making learning fun!
