Comments

I am not sure how I feel about this book. The illustrations are made of items found laying around. This are great fun to look at and see what the pieces really are. It encourages the reader to evaluate each illustration. Each letter also has a poem just for it. Some letter’s have better poems than others. It might be a good book for Kindergarten or First graders, especially if you plan on breaking down each letter and getting to know it. It could also be used in older grades for reinforcement or just for fun. But the true gem of this book is clearly the found items.
