I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A fun alphabet book. Reminds me a bit of the Alphabet Mystery books.

I received an electronic ARC from Schiffer Publishing Ltd. through NetGalley.
Poor C tries to outdo B by jumping farther. C ends up in a garbage can and can't get out. The other letters search for three-armed E to rescue C but can't find E. Three other letters have vanished as well. They make a word - ROPE - and rescue C.
Charming rhymes and brightly colored pages. Fun story for preschool and lower elementary levels to work on the alphabet. Simple to follow text throughout.

I liked this story, it was easy to follow, I loved the play on the alphabet and the images were fun too.

Most of the book was also rhyming in nature too which made my daughter really enjoy it and she enjoyed the repetitive nature of the story too.

It is 4 stars from me for this one

What do you think happens when one of the letters of the alphabet falls into the garbage can? Who can help him? Well, the other letters of the alphabet, of course. They all work together to come up with ways to save C, all but four letters. Which letters are missing and could they be the key to saving C from the dumpster? Read this hilarious, adventure-filled book that will have kids laughing out loud and trying to figure out the puzzle at the same time. Don't miss this one!!

I loved this book!! It is such a creative way to read an alphabet book to kids. I love the way Pamela Jane uses humor along with reading skills to find the answer to saving C. The illustrations are precious! This is one of those books that after you read the pages, you need to examine them before you turn them. There is so much going on on each page and you will want to take it all in. I love this book and I can't wait to get it into my library!!

A fun alphabet book with bright happy fun pictures and a mysterious adventure that ends with some of the letters making a word to save poor C. One star off for the illustration showing S and T roasting marshmallows- the two marshmallows on fire running around is disturbing. Not cool, yo, not cool! Otherwise, a fun book!

After having read many alphabet books over the past few years, this one stands in good company with classics like Chicka Chika, Boom Boom. The letters are humorous and adventurous, the rhymes are quite creative, it gives the children the ideas that letters can be blended to make words. I would buy this one to keep for my personal library.

An alphabet rhyming adventure! This book was super cute and my 4 year old daughter loved looking for items that started with the letters on each page. A great book for children learning letters. it reminded me a lot of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Overall a very fun book parents and children will love to read together.

This is a very cute rhyming picture book. Young students learning the alphabet will enjoy finding items in the pictures that start with each letter. I will be glad to share this with the kindergarten and first grade students at school.

A cute little rhyming book about the alphabet and the fun and shenanigans they get into. A bit of spelling and describing the letter this book is educational and nice to look at.

Our kids love books that incorporate the alphabet. If your family loved Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, C Jumped Over Three Pots and Pan...will be another wonderful book to add to your collection. Our kindergartener enjoyed the great rhyming in this book and it was a great way to reinforce the alphabet letters in a fun and engaging storyline. The illustrations added a lot to this playful and fun text and we highly recommend this book to preschoolers and children who are learning their ABCs.
