ABC POETRY is a delightful book refreshingly different from other ABC books.  Each letter of the alphabet introduces itself in rhyme and gives a unique perspective of its place in the sound system.  ABC POETRY will entertain children and adults alike.  An illustrated glossary is included for easy reference.

"I wrote ABC POETRY to entertain the adult as well as the child, making this a definite "read-to-me" (or, "with-me") book.  Most ABC books are very simple in their approach to teaching letter sounds, ie. "A is for apple, B is for baby."  It is my belief that the very best way to teach the sounds the letters make is through alliteration - the repitition of the same sound over and over again.  In the "S" poem, for instance, there are more than 120 s's!

In ABC POETRY there are subtle nuances, puns, witticisms and uncommon words to share - which is why I have included a glossary at the end.

Linda Walker has created lovely illustrations for each poem.
"Quacking and quakeing,
A queen with a quest,
Mathematical quotients
And questions to ask."
                            
from Q
"While back at the elm
a sneaky deft eft
crept eerily close
to the eaglets who slept.
The eft eyed
the eaglets
in ravenous
greed.
He plotted
and planned
his devilish
deed."
from E
from S
"The shallop and the skater fish,
The sisi and the sole
Resided there below the surge
Swimming to and fro."
"Let's take a trip
on a trolley
or travel by train
to Truckee.
We'll traipse
all around
and tarry
in town
then taxi
through traffic
to tea."
from T
