Cloud’s Alphabet

Written by Jana Kristl
Illustrated by Melinda Braun

Edited by Onna Konicek



Today it is time to read and spell
Time for books and for tea

And time to learn the alphabet
For Cloud, for my brother, and me

America is our country
From sea to shining sea
A land of beautiful bounty
Home sweet home where we are free

Beehive is crowded with honeybees
They make a buzzing sound

Humming as loudly as they please
A big bumblebee flies around

Cloud naps in his doghouse
It is warm and cozy inside
He shares it with a little mouse
She thinks it’s a good place to hide

Daddy is playing piano
Jazz, rock and classical
Mommy is singing soprano
Cloud thinks it’s a musical

Eagle perched high in a tree
He then soars without fear

In awe we watch him fly
He flies further than we can see



Flowers blooming in the meadow
The summer days are very hot
Farm animals seek a shadow
In the stable they sleep a lot



will change to
maple leaves

Grandpa is playing the cello
Under the maple tree

Cloud comes by to say hello
As friendly as he can be

will add trees

Houses in our neighborhood
Sit on top of a hill

Surrounded by a leafy wood
Below is a red farm and mill

Ice cream is a tasty treat
When summer days are hot

Cloud and I want to eat
One scoop; it’s not a lot

Jeans are popular clothes
For work and for play

Daddy wears them for both
He wears jeans every day



Kindergarten is starting soon
Cloud thinks learning is cool
We will be done each day at noon
It’s good to prepare for school
