I really liked this book from first glance, because it looked like a good book to use for early childhood or younger elementary aged students. The pictures were simple, yet visual so auditory and visual learners’ needs could be satisfied. The storyline also makes something like the alphabet seem fun and exciting, as the letters come to life.
As a teacher I would use this book to introduce writing to younger kids. It is a good tool to show them how a bunch of jumbled letters can become words, and later a sentence. It can also be a good way to show them the process of writing and how you can start with small words, and get bigger, until you have formed a word, and then put together small sentences to form larger ones. Together after reading this book, each child could have a set of cut out letters and work with a partner to make their own words, and then color their own tree and attach the words or sentences that they make to their own alphabet tree. It would be a good way for early elementary students to get used to working with letters and experimenting until they form a word or sentence.
