Tab the Crab goes on an adventure when he sneaks into a cab and must get back to the beach. This simple story for beginning readers teaches the 'ab' sound through rhyming text and bright, original illustrations. Additional features to aid in comprehension include a word list for review, a note to parents and educators, and an introduction to the author and illustrator.

Please note this edition does not feature die-cut pages. Is that crab driving a cab? Will the pot stay hot? Flip a page and watch a crab turn into a dab! Crab Cab features these word families: -ab, -ot, -it. Nouns or verbs from a word family are shown. Single words progress into short phrases ("hot spot") and then simple sentences. Turn the page and see a new word from the same family, along with a new image (a b-un becomes a s-un). With playful, colorful art done in the "Hello Kitty" style, each book in this interactive phonics series features three different word families. Word families help children recognize similarities between words that rhyme and connect words with matching long, or short, vowel sounds. Kids can then read words that they haven't seen before. Flip-a-Word takes kids from a single word, to a phrase, to a simple sentence. From there, eye-catching illustrations will lead kids to imagine story scenarios only a child could dream up! Kids, parents, teachers - everyone flips for Flip-a-Word!

Presents rhyming words that end with "-ab" by introducing crabs at the beach.
