Zeb and Deb are twins. More than anything else in the world, they love animals of all types. As part of their homeschooling assignments, they are producing easy-reader phonics tales for young kids and the young at heart. Here is a tale Zeb and Deb wrote about two ant gal-pals trying to find each other in a vast zoo. This tale features short a words and animals. To make it easier for lower-grade kids to spot, all letters making the short a sound are written in red. About the Author: Debbie Dunn has been a professional storyteller since 1989. She has also served as a teacher of at-risk teens, an anti-bullying specialist, and she taught both elementary and middle school. She now indulges her love of nature, traveling, and writing as she follows the trail of at-risk animals. This phonics easy reader is the first of many.
