An alphabet book in which each letter becomes three different objects as the book is turned different directions, as when A becomes a bird's beak, a drippy ice cream cone, and the point of a star.

Doing every single letter of the alphabet would be too much--but highlighting a few letters or two (and showing all of the things they can be) is amazing!!

What a great way to practice early literacy skills with pre-readers!! ( )

This book was fun because you turn it around, and upside down, to see different things. The kids started to draw their own letters, then we transitioned into talking about the sound that each letter makes. I would definitely recommend this book for young children. ( )

I like this book because it can be interactive since you have to turn the book around for each letter. This book helps the reader see what the letters look like in many different ways. When you turn the book the letters looks like a different object. It is very fun and takes a little work to see some of the objects it describes.
USES: I think I would use this when teaching how to write letters. It tells us what the letter should look like depending how you look at it so when students start to write this could help them. ( )

This book would be read aloud to my students. For a kindergarten class, after reading the book, the students could write each capital letter from A to Z to show that they have an understanding of what each letter looks like and what order they come in. The kindergartners could then count the letters 1 to 26 to make sure they have written them all.
A first grade or second grade class could create an artistic representation of the letters of their name. Instead of just writing the letters, the students could use one of the imaginative perspectives used in the book or come up with their own for each letter. For example, a child named Al could write his name as a bird's beak or cell phone, like in the story. This would show that students have the ability to understand perspective and create meaning through artistic expression.

This book would be appropriate for preschool and kindergarten as it is used to teach the alphabet in a fun way. It could be used as an interactive read aloud with props such as picture of what the book is referring too. You could ask the children what else they think of when they see certain letters.
