It's a series of imaginative and funny stories where the letters of the alphabet come to life. Letter a, Letter z, and their many friends play, dream, sometimes argue, and always seem to misunderstand something. In the end, they figure their way out of the messes they’ve made, while discovering the power of friendship. In each episode they always discover something special about the&nbsp; superpower we call reading. So get ready for laughter, literacy, and social&nbsp; emotional learning, with a group of friends you won’t forget in the podcast “A, Z and Everyone In Between.”</p><p><br></p>]]></description>
