Mercer Mayer is an American children's author and illustrator. He has published over 300 books, using a wide range of illustrative styles. Mayer is best known for his Little Critter and Little Monster series of books.
This is a cute story that introduces the alphabet using various animals, objects, and even monsters. The book also includes a mini-lesson on the colors of the rainbow. This would be a good book to use in the classroom, not only to introduce the letters of the alphabet, but also to show the students some new vocabulary that they may have never heard. This could be included in a lesson on the colors of the rainbow as well.
A little monster describes his collection of items whose names represent the letters of the alphabet. My version is ISBN: 0-307-03938-2, Merrigold Press, 1978. Out of print but still fun to read.
