For ages 4-8. This is the fifth book in a charmingly original series that capitalises on the inherent interest children have in their names. Colorful, original illustrations and photographs of other words beginning with the same letter encourage reading and challenge children to count, find objects, and expand their vocabulary. The first page of 'My Name Starts with K' shows young readers how to make a K using sign language and introduces them to the entire American Sign Language alphabet. The book features illustrations and photos of all sorts of words that begin with K and the young reader will quickly become aware of the importance of the first letter of his or her name. Word recognition and identification of numerous K words will help beginning readers start the decoding process. The whimsical, original art by Arlie Anderson provides a pleasing warmth and texture that sets this book apart from other children's books.
