Alpha-Mania Adventures: Captain Ray and the Rhyming Pirates (Book 1: A Rhyming Book) by Jalisa Henry, Jennifer Makwana
3.0
For the most part i like this book and what the author/publisher is trying to do. I think they will be a great addition to class rooms and preschools. Now a few things I think should be looked into. The front matter, i.e. “More than a story book. I think this should be in the back. It annoys me when things like this are in the front of books, because it is geared towards adults. The adult geared stuff should be in the back. Second, the layout seems wonky. That may be because I am reading a digital galley and keeping track of page alignment can be confusing. There is usually two pages with story and then “can you find” section, then two pages of pictures. I think it should go “can you find”, picture, “can you find”, picture. Also if the books are meant to be read in order, it should say that somewhere in the explanation, and digitally there should be a better way to see what book is what number. If you can read them in any order, then do not number them.
The story is fun, and the rhyming/not rhyming is explained very well. I like the activities that are included in the back of the book as well.
