Title: Word Play ABC
Illustrator: Heather Cahoon
Genre:Picture book
Sub Genre: poetry
Theme: every letter stands for something
Primary and Secondary Characters: none
Award(s) date of publication:1999
Brief Summary: This is a very short book. Each letter that is presented has a different object attached to it. For example, the book starts out with a and end with z. For the letter d, dragonfly is used. It continues on like this. There is one word for each picture/ page.
Used in the Classroom: I think that this is a good book for introducing and increasing the students' vocabulary. I think that it is also a great way of teaching the alphabet. I think that after this book is read in the class, students can be encouraged to find things that go with certain letters and they can create their own book. I think it is very fun and great for younger students just learning the alphabet, vocabulary, or how to read books.
