Books with title The Alphabet

Kjell Sandved traveled for 24 years through 30 countries to find hidden letters on moth and butterfly wings - the alphabet "written by Nature's own hand". The result is this collection of stunning close-up photographs of 26 butterfly wings whose patterns reveal a beautiful array of letters. Playful, fanciful verse serves as a guide through this celebration of the wondrously colorful world of butterflies and the secret delights of the natural world that beckon us all.

Magic happens every night inone lucky classroom. The animals on alphabet cards come alive, pop off the wall, and start doing great things around the school. Each letter has its own personality, quirks, and talents to help solve problems, most often with a hilarious twist. Sharing a united concern and compassion for kids, the animals form teams to help the most vulnerable students. One gang sets out to vanquish bullying, and another works to destroy the stealing of food and money. One group empowers and encourages students to stand up for themselves with respect, character, and self-esteem. Another team finds jobs for poor and desperate families, helping to eradicate poverty. Focusing on real problems, The Alphabet Gang shares a whimsical story of a group of animals intent on helping students and teachers.

The book also includes an introduction by Brett Abbott, Keough Family Curator of Photography and Head of Collections at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Ga.

In The Alphabet from Z to A (With Much Confusion on the Way), Judith Viorst once again applies her clear-sighted wit to a subject of universal appeal, turning the traditional alphabet book on its head by going through the alphabet backwards. Viorst's lively verse irreverently demonstrates that the spellings and sounds of our language are often so maddeningly inconsistent -- "blue" and "blew," "chute" and "shoe" -- that, as her exasperated narrator complains, "It could drive you berserk." Aimed at children who already have some facility with language (and at anyone else who likes to play with words), The Alphabet from Z to A is an entertaining and thought-provoking romp through the quirks and quagmires of the English language. Richard Hull's exquisite drawings enrich the text and offer a playful challenge.

Explore the beautiful miniature worlds this Caldecott Medalist has created for each letter of the alphabet. From A, an artist painting under an acorn tree, to Z, where zinnias grow outside the zoo, children are invited to find words that begin with the letter presented in each captivating scene. Previously published in 1993 as A Little Alphabet, our larger and more user-friendly format makes this alphabet game more delightful than ever. Trina Schart Hyman's lovingly detailed artwork will continue to absorb the imagination long after all of the hidden treasures are found.
