A is for Axel - a Delight! Marcia F. Tepper I LOVED this book - a gift for my grandaughter - for several reasons. First of all, being an alphabet book, it was appropriate for a very young skater.

Skating and the Alphabet - Kids Love it Kids love this series of books. A is for Axel hits home as I have three skaters - two of which are working on learning their alphabets and words.
