SuitabookAn Artist's Alphabet
Norman Messenger
- Reading
- Browse a few pages at the child’s pace, inviting them to point out shapes and details before offering your own interpretation; revisit pages where the letter is harder to spot.
- Themes
- Seeing letters in images: Letters are made through images and visual associations; some connections are not immediately apparent and are left for readers to work out. The book presents the alphabet as something to look at and interpret, rather than only as sounds to learn.
- Worth knowing
- If you want a book that practises letter sounds or offers an obvious picture-word match for every letter, this may not meet that expectation; its approach is more visual and interpretive.
