Editorial Reviews
Praise for From A to Z with Energy!
“The book’s lively rhyming alphabet rhythm and vibrant illustrations, featuring a diverse cast of children enjoying a wide range of activities, will have everyone dancing, twirling, jumping, skipping—in short, exercising with an enthusiastic E! Parents, teachers, and caregivers will appreciate the section for adults, which includes the ‘science’ of staying active and fun activities to get everyone moving!”—Kelly Bennett, award-winning author and educator
“From A to Z with Energy! is a delightfully creative and thoroughly engaging MUST-HAVE experience for all very young children, their siblings, friends, parents, and teachers. Connie Dow, highly respected in the field of early childhood dance education, has produced another gem for her priceless collection of resources for early childhood education facilitators. The author’s passion for her subject and her utmost respect for her young followers spring from the pages and will entice even the most reluctant to join in the dance!”—Anne Dunkin, Ph.D., author of Dancing in Your School: A Guide for Preschool and Elementary School Teachers
“From A to Z with Energy by Connie Bergstein Dow is a really terrific book for young families and teachers of young children. With its emphasis on having fun and incorporating play into every day, the book is a great way to help build exercise and activity into a daily habit. The illustrations are fun and I can imagine that this book will be often requested by children for reading and rereading again and again. What a great book!”—Thane Maynard, Cincinnati Zoo director and author
“Join the fun as our youngest readers explore the alphabet so they can fill their own worlds with energy and motion. In this joyful book, author and dancer Connie Bergstein Dow shares her passion for words and movement in pages that skip, zip, climb, skate, and even celebrate the moon with the snappy art of British illustrator Gareth Llewhellin.”—Louise Borden, award-winning author of 31 children’s books, including The Journey That Saved Curious George
“Fun bouncy text and colorful images create body awareness for young kids while action verbs highlight the alphabet. The language and provided activities dare kids to stay in their seats.”—Leslie Helakoski, picture book author and writing instructor

Recently I used “From A to Z with Energy.” The students and I both loved all the movement and learning that took place. I would rate it a 5-star book and I recommend it to anyone working with young students.
