Engaging riddles in rhyme for each letter of the alphabet fill the books in the
ABC Riddles series with hours of fun for young readers. Challenged to match letters
and sounds, and to think logically, youngsters can enjoy these books alone, or
with friends, parents, teachers and classmates. Try one!

Kids love to play me and they do it well.

I can be small,
or quite big and strong.
I can be flat
or be round and fat.
Through the water I sail,
with my fins and a tail.
Sometimes I even fly.
Can you guess? What am I?(from ABC Nature Riddles)
I start with a K and end with an E.
My bright colors fly
on a string you can't see.
I do tricks in the sky
when the wind carries me.
I can climb way up high.
Can you name me?(from Alphabet Riddles)
Creating riddles in rhyme is a wonderful way to help children explore words. As
they become engaged in the poetic process, their vocabulary will blossom and
their understanding of words and meanings will grow. What a fun way to develop
reading, writing, thinking and vocal presentation skills! Drawing pictures to go
with their riddles can add another dimension to this learning experience. (Peel
Productions, Inc. has a popular Draw series of instructional books for budding
artists - see www.drawbooks.com for detailed info, samples pages and lessons.)
