More about this book

The very first Gabby adventure!

Gabby reaches up, up, up, to put away her last book when suddenly, the book tumbles out of her hand and the letters inside scatter around her playroom!
Before Gabby can collect them all, the letters take on a life of their own, “spelling” disaster!
Will Gabby manage to tame her new “word-mates” and show them how letters can also make “f-r-i-e-n-d-s”?

Gabby is a quirky, rollicking story all on its own; it’s also ideal for teaching phonics.

Two pages of end matter with fun literacy games that promote reading and writing.
