Apple, Bug, Cup.... A great introduction to spelling for visual learners, this colorful illustrated book helps bridge the gap between object and word. With a picture for each letter of the alphabet, the written word itself is used to illustrate the object it represents.

In this illustrated tale, a young black bird falls from his nest and makes his home on the ground, at the base of a great oak tree. Never having learned to fly, he spends his days looking up at the sky. Through courage and circumstance, he finds his wings while discovering that the first flight is often the hardest on a journey to reaching the stars.
