Reviews

[Tricia · Rating 3 out of 5]

One of the better in the Wonder Books Phonics series, this title covers Z, obviously. Shares items that are zigzagged.

[Helen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book, showing pictures of "zigzags" in the real world, had good pictures. Some were things a child would see regularly; others were things to discuss, like the Great Wall of China.
