A to Z
Written and Illustrated by Sandra Boynton
Little Simon Books, 1995, newly revised edition
Suitable for: Ages one and up
Theme/Topic: Alphabet
Opening:
Aardvard Admiring
Beavers Ballooning
Cats Cleaning
Brief Synopsis: A simple alphabet books featuring animals and a funny action. Like "Hippos Hiding."
Link to Resources: Back in February when I was all bold about participating in the A to Z. I offered the book Alphabet for Perfect Picture Book Fridays. It features a lot of animals too. Here's an alphabet printable. We discuss ways (sometimes it's a one-way discussion) the animals in Boynton's book are doing unusual things. Here are alphabet worksheets.
Why I chose this book: I have the alphabet on the brain this month with the A to Z Challenge.
To find more picture books and resources, please visit Susanna Leonard Hill's blog and look for the Perfect Picture Books page.
And, here's what I was doing while typing this post:

ReplyDeleteThanks for the morning giggle!
Congrats on making to the end - just about. I could have have made it past "G" I think!
Cathy, It is indeed a one-way discussion sometimes. I love it when I catch him studying picture book illustrations on his own.
DeleteSuch a perfect choice for A to Z month :) Thanks for another great alphabet book - I love anything Boynton :) - and the more alphabet books the merrier! :)
ReplyDeleteI have read this and it is so cute! I love Sandra Boyton, too. I have several her books on my iPad (for me...since I have no little ones :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat way to end the A to Z challenge. Like your selection and I imagine Enzo enjoys it even more. Laughed a the photo, after I read your comment. When I first looked at it, I thought it was a poster on the wall with balloons -- thought you had created an activity/game. Then I realized it was your stash! LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Stacy! Looks like a cute A to Z book.
ReplyDeleteCan I call dibs on the black jelly beans?
These books always remind me of my "babies'" baby and toddler days. I can't read a Sandra Boynton without getting a little misty.
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE Sandra Boynton books in our house! This is a great pick!
ReplyDeleteSimple and funny, does seem like a perfect pick! Thanks, Stacy!
ReplyDeleteHi Stacy, for some reason, I have a fascination with quirky, strange, and non-traditional Alphabet Books. This sounds like one of them, very cute! Perfect for the treasured little ones indeed.
ReplyDeleteI love Sandra Boynton! Reminds me of when my boys were little.
ReplyDeleteI love the alphabet book that says, "I'm unusual." So this is one I'd love to get my hands on. Sandra Boyton is awesome. *grabs a jelly bean*
ReplyDeleteNice choice of jellybeans. :) And great choice for PPBF! I love when we have books that can be read with and handled by the really little ones! Congrats on completing your A-Z Challenge! Hope I will see you at the next SCBWI local meeting...not sure when it is, but I'm sure they will send an email.
ReplyDeleteSandra Boynton is very popular in our house. A to Z is so fun! Great post.
