Love IT! I would love to get my hands on each and every My "letter" Box book! These books are such a great tools to introduce phonics and letter sounds. I love the way that Jane creates a story using different objects that have the G sound. I would love to use this book in a kindergarten classroom and as a resource for the students to use throughout the school year.

This one is particularly funny with the goats. Still really enjoying this series with Tot.

This book is about a little girl names little g and she puts only things that begin with g in her box. This is good for early readers because they can look at the pictures to help them figure out what some of the words are. Also Little G puts animals in her box that begin with the letter G.

With the goats and the gorilla dancing together, I think this is the favourite of the series so far for both Mini-Me and me. This book really makes her giggle, which makes me smile. And it's fun to read, too!

This silly story brought the letter G to life for the kids in our class. Really cute and easy to read. Also loved the pictures.

Impressed that a little girl with glasses could put goats, a gorilla and a goose and gander into a box.

Reading these books to a new generation of kids. I had not read these in 20 years.
