Title: E-mergency!Authors: Tom Lichtenheld & Ezra Fields-Meyer
Target: Kindergarten - Grade 2
What this book is about:
All the letters in the alphabet live together, and one day E falls down the stairs. She is out of commission for a few days, so O must take over E’s duties to give E some time to rest. O is the obvious choice because she is so well rounded!

Why I love this book:
This book is hilarious and I just enjoy a book so much that has little side conversations full of humor. The jokes never stop. D and C go to Washington to alert the government, N asks P and U not to sit together, M& D tell our patient to take two aspirin and call them in the morning! I find something new and clever each time I read the book!

Who this book is for:
Your child has to be old enough to appreciate the humor and the fact that halfway through the book they stop using the letter E! This leads to some interesting reading so an older child or one more proficient in reading will really get the most out of it.

Final thoughts:

Author: You guessed it, Paul Thurlby
Target: Preschool
What this book is about:
This is a traditional alphabet book with one letter per page. The fun is that the word that starts with the letter is drawn into the shape of the letter. The author also uses some more interesting word choices such as A for Amazing and E for Embrace.

Why I love this book:
The illustrations in this book are wonderful! They are retro inspired and I enjoy the fact that the words, while known, are not obvious choices! It is also nice that Thurlby includes both the upper and lower cases of the letter on each page.

Title: Alphabet AdventureAuthors: Audrey & Bruce Wood
Target: Preschool - Kindergarten
What this book is about:
The alphabet is leaving for its first day at school, and along the way i trips and looses it’s dot. The letters go on a busy search to find the dot, but only after the letters try and find a replacement dot does the original show up asking not to be left behind!

Why I love this book:
First it is great to see a book that focuses on the lower case, instead of upper case letters. Second, I love that all the replacement dots the letters find represent something that starts with their letter. Finally, my family loved finding little i’s dot hidden from the group on each page.

Who this book is for:
Since it does focus on lower case letters it is more appropriate for older preschoolers.

Why I love this book:
This book was published over 30 years ago and remains a classic. Kids have so much fun figuring out the connections between the letter and word. Even after they have memorized the connections, they start to build on their own.
