Corky Cub's Crazy Caps
by Barbara deRubertis

Summary

Corky Cub has the Craziest Caps! Enjoy the whole series: From Alexander Anteater to Zachary Zerbra, it's one adventure after another for Alpha Betty's students. Get to know these zany characters as they find new friends, test their talents, go on exciting explorations, and have a rip-roaring, super-sensational totally tremendous good time! Jeremy Jackrabbit is excited to enter the big jump rope contest. Will he get the jitters—or will his joyful jumping win him a trip to the Jump Rope Hall of Fame?

Each book tells a humorous story children will relate to and want to hear again and again, and each includes a fun activity to stimulate children's curiosity. Each book in the series focuses on a single letter sound (phoneme) and offers numerous opportunities for children to practice finding the phoneme at the beginning, middle and end of many words.

Roser, Professor, Language and Literary Studies, Univ of Texas, Austin.

"Each alliterative story focuses on a single phoneme or letter sound. Izzy Impala seeks attention from her grandpa by feigning illness, such as infuriating influenza or an impossible injury...
