"The Graphic Alphabet" by David Pelletier

RATING:  Thumbs UP!

REVIEW:  
     This is such a neat book! Pelletier is creative in displaying the letters of the alphabet.  He uses bright colors against a black background to make the designs really stand out.  This is not your traditional alphabet book with the cute little apples for  the letter "A" and a rosy cheeked boy for the letter "B".  Instead you see interesting pictures that represent the letters.  For example, the letter x is seen in an x-ray with an individual crossing his fingers. Each letter becomes the word it represents.  Its really cool. A becomes an avalanche and the D becomes the devil.  Each letter takes up a whole page and the word it represents is printed below the letter.  It's a good book to use with older kids. But I wouldn't use with my pre-knder kiddos.
