ELFABET: An A to Z of Woodland Folk by Sylva Fae – Children’s Literature, Children’s School Issues, Early Readers Books

Sylva Fae helps early readers learn their alphabet with another delightful children’s book, Elfabet: An A to Z of Woodland Folk. 

Little Eric, king of Ladybirds, also known as ladybugs, needs a way to learn his letters to spell many dazzling words. Little Eric uses the world of the forest folk around him as inspiration for his elfabet. Get ready to meet a whole trove of fantastical creatures from dragons to pixies, to fairies and goblins, and many more for every letter of the elfabet!

Fae’s Elfabet charms readers and fills us with love on every page. Just like in Rainbow Monsters, where readers got to learn about colors by getting to know a rainbow of monsters, Fae makes learning the alphabet fun and engaging. Everyone knows that “A” is for apple and “D” is for dog, but now readers will get to explore a whole new and fantastical world. A world where “A” still stands for apple but is collected by elves, and “D” is for fire-breathing dragons!

Both Sylva Fae and illustrator Katie Weaver dedicate this book to their children, who inspire their work.

In her illustrations, Weaver uses an array of bright colors and draws various subjects to encourage creativity in children. On each page, the drawings are within each corresponding letter, and readers will wonder and daydream about what magic lies beyond the edges of each letter. By the time children reach the end of Elfabet, they will be inspired to write and draw their own stories of the woodland folk.

Make the road to reading get off to a fun and creative start with Little Eric, the king of Ladybirds in Sylva Fae’s Elfabet: An A to Z of Woodland Folk. This title won 1st Place in the CIBAs 2019 LITTLE PEEPS Awards for Children’s Literature.
