In Chapter 7, about picture books, I was impressed by the book Antics! An Alphabetical Anthology. The idea is extremely clever, in my opinion. I am looking forward to buying and reading the book. I am curious what all of the letters could possibly represent, all ending in ant! What an ingeniuos idea. Very creative!
And I never realized how important the criteria for writing an alphabet book is. It makes complete sense though. How using E for elephant (because it does not make the common E sound) or Q for quail (when they see a picture of a bird) could be very confusing for young children to comprehend, and could take away from the lesson from the book.
