Author and illustrator Martha Zschock was a third-grade teacher on
Cape Cod. When taking her students on field trips on the Cape, she
discovered what sites and stories excited them most. Drawing on
that experience, she created what one Cape Cod bookseller calls
"the best Cape book we've ever had," and the first in a series of
alphabet books that visit great American places. Journey Around
Cape Cod and the Islands From A to Z is an alphabet book, but one
that is equally enjoyable and interesting for children of all ages
and for adults, as well. From Aptucxet to Zooplankton, it offers
fascinating information about the Cape and its history, all of it
illustrated with Zschock's beautiful watercolor work.

delivering the curriculum, either in the classroom or when pupils
