Today's start is tomorrow's growth. This book explains that today's seed is tomorrow's apple, today's eggs are tomorrow's birds, and today's milk is tomorrow's cheese.

This book is an alphabet book that relies on the second stage of the object being described. Ex. A is for todays seed and tomorrows apples. ( )

This is an alphabet book, that encourages students to predict what item will come from the original. For example the book states, "E is for fire, tomorrow's ember" or "N is for twigs, tomorrow's nest."

This book should only be used with students who have a clear understanding of graphemes, otherwise they may become confused. This is a great way to introduce the concept of predictions to young readers, and it also displays the idea of cause and effect. This book could be used with older readers, and they can then create their own "tomorrow's alphabet" book. Overall, this book is fun and can educate readers about what different items originate as.

This book would be great to use this book in a kindergarten, first, second, third, or fourth grade classroom. It goes beyond teaching students about the alphabet and shows the relationship between cause and effect. Students are able to understand the life science connections between how one things starts off as something and can change into something else over time. This book would be a great model text to show the relationship between cause and effect. Students could utilize this text to understand the basics of relationships between words and objects and then learn more in-depth information about cause and effect and beginning, end relationships.
