Summary:
Although we recommend alphabet books rarely and only with great cautions that teachers do not allow students to feel childish, this one is very unusual. This book is a collection of paintings of urban scenes, and each one presents the letter of the alphabet.
Teaching Ideas:
This book will easily generate discussion and may be a good way to begin a class. Teachers might follow with language experience activities or could encourage students to see their environments in new ways, perhaps by creating their own similar books. It may be a good addition to a text set on the city.
