"D is for dancing dragons," Lillian declared.

Zoe drenched diamond duchesses.

Filled with such fairy-tale favorites as dragons, elves, fairies, mermaids, and unicorns, this book provides an entertaining way to introduce the letters of the alphabet, identify their sounds, build vocabulary, and discuss other language arts skills.  

It is a well-known fact that not all princesses are the same. While Lillian is a gentle, daydreamy Navajo one, little sister Zoe is of the rough-n-tumble warrior variety. As the day progresses, their perspectives produce distance, conflict, and unity.

        Vocabulary (aerial, frolicked, quelled...)

        Active Voice: vs. Passive Voice (Zoe drenched... vs. "D is for...")
