Alphapets is a series of children's books by Ruth Lerner Perle, Deborah Colvin Borgo, Judy Blankenship and Richard Max Kolding. They are similar to the ''Sweet Pickles'' books in that each letter of the alphabet is represented in a separate book with an animal representing each letter. Each story was filled with words and objects that begin with the letter of the alphabet featured in that book. A special word page at the end of each book provided extra practice in identifying letters and words. The series was initially published in the early 1990s. Each story followed a similar formula in that typically each animal has a distinct personality trait. This trait was used to build the plot and to impart a moral lesson to the reader. For example, in ''Justin's Just Joking'', Justin is always playing jokes on his friends, making them feel sad. At the end of the book, Justin's friends play a joke on him to make him understand how much his jokes hurt. These books are appropriate for beginning readers of all ages; however, depending on the child's reading skill, the series are generally recommended for children from Preschool through to 3rd grade. ==Characters== *Aa - Albert the Absent-minded Alligator *Bb - Bradly the Brave Bear *Cc - Connie the Cuddly Cat *Dd - Delilah the Demanding Duck *Ee - Emmy the Exaggerating Elephant *Ff - Fenton the Fearful Frog *Gg - Gertie the Grungy Goat *Hh - Herbie the Happy Hamster *Ii - Ivy the Impatient Iguana *Jj - Justin the Joking Jackal *Kk - Katy the Kind Koala *Ll - Lizzy the Lazy Lamb *Mm - Monty the Mimicking Mouse *Nn - Nelly the Naughty Newt *Oo - Ollie the Obedient Ostrich *Pp - Perry the Polite Porcupine *Qq - Queenie the Quiet Quail *Rr - Rupert the Resourceful Rhinoceros *Ss - Sylvester the Stubborn Squirrel *Tt - Tina the Truthful Tiger *Uu - Una the Unhappy Unicorn *Vv - Vinnie the Vocal Vulture *Ww - Wendy the Wise Woodchuck *Xx - Xavier the X-ploring Xenops *Yy - Yori the Yucky Yak *Zz - Ziggy the Zippy Zebra 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AlphaPets」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
