Excerpt Introduction to Addison: Addison Anderson lives in a pet friendly apartment, by Adams Field Airport, in Arkansas. The large corner apartment allows for amazing views of the area, along with airplanes of assorted sizes. The airplanes fly around her apartment at all times, even when she’s asleep. Admittedly, the noise of the airplanes often awakens her, but most of the time, Addison sleeps right through the airport’s ample array of aircraft activities.

Laura James’s picture book for early readers, Addison’s Abrupt Adventures, addresses the advantages and agility of the letter ‘A’. There’s an unusual twist to this A-ranking story because many parts of Addison’s adventures feature lots of words beginning with the letter ‘A’. Using all kinds of ‘A’ words – verbs, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs – the author makes reading a fun adventure in itself, all while increasing a young reader’s vocabulary. She has created an entertaining story, full of fun, adventure, and a little touch of humor. This is a story to broaden reading vocabulary and the author achieves her goal with great aplomb, which is quite an admirable accomplishment. So many ‘A’ words to appreciate, enjoy, and use. It actually becomes quite addictive. Addison really has a knack for all that is a-okay. Lovely illustrations.

This book is so amazing, such
a play with words as Addison gracefully winds though her
life experiences. The book is not only a vocabulary builder,
but it also promotes language
skill development. Hats off to Laura James, such creativity!

Absolutely loved it! Love the concept around highlighting the letter a. I think the verbiage is great for 2nd-3rd grade readers; some more difficult words which would hopefully trigger them to do additional research into what the word means.
