Introduction
O
nce upon a time, there was a class of kindergarteners and
grade 1s who lived together in the magical land of Division 10. Behind the friendly walls of Thunderbird Palace, they cast the most amazing spells of alliteration using all the letters of the alphabet. With a little help from the Three Little Pigs, Rapunzel and some magnificent mentors from the Writers’ Exchange, the class soon discovered that they had written their very own fairytale alphabet book!
