Letters of the alphabet are scattered in a tree. A word bug comes along to teach the letters to make words. Once they learn how to make words a sentence caterpillar comes to teach them how to make meaning of the words they created by making a sentence. This is a good book to read to young kindergarten and first graders who are learning these reading and writing concepts. The author nor the publisher have a website.

This book is about a tree with letters on it's leaves. A wind came and blew some of the letters away. A bee came along to teach the letters how to spell words. Then a caterpillar came along and taught the words how to create sentences. This is a great book for K - 2nd grades. It would be good for individual reading.

Genre: Fantasy - This book is a good example of fantasy because some of the things that happen are unbelievable, but as you read you start to think it is believable. The main idea of the book is something that could not happen, so it is fantasy. It kind of takes you into another world. The characters are also easy to relate to.

Setting: If this book would not of taken place outside in the plants then it would not of worked. The story would have made no sense and it would not of been as cute as it was. The setting was good for this book.

Art Media: collage and watercolor

Style: The style that I noticed was used very well in this book was rhyme, this story had a good flow to it and it was kind of like a poem. It added a really nice touch to the book, and it would not have been the same without it.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0394810163, Hardcover)

The wordbug teaches the letters on the alphabet tree, torn and tossed by a windstorm, how to become stronger by banding together to form words. Then a clever purple caterpillar teaches the letters to become even stronger by forming sentences with a message of peace. Available in hardcover for the first time in many years, The Alphabet Tree is Leo Lionni’s gentle parable about the power of the written word in a democratic society.
