This book teaches the Alphabet without the young reader or listener even knowing they are learning the alphabet. It consist of twenty-six playful poems that illustrate definitions of words that begin with each letter of the alphabet. It is perfect for young readers to discover the different words through the fun poems. This book would be a great addition to a classroom or a library. It is a fun way of showing poetry and learning the alphabet at the same time! It does not have a unifying theme, but this could be good to start discussions in class.
