Arizona Alphabet Book
Book Review:
The Arizona Alphabet Book has places throughout Arizona listed
A to Z. Each page brings the reader to a wonderfully bold color representation
of activity around Arizona. Below each of these brassy bright colored
pictures lies a witty alliteration, which brings a strong association
to both the place and the illustration. For example, page one begins,
"In Alpine, an amiable Apache, Albert Apodaca, always adorns his antique
automobile with antelope antlers." Author Donna Dee Schmid-Belk's enchanting
fun lifts the reader all the way from A to Z. This book can be a shared
experience between two or more readers as they attempt the tongue twisters
and share anecdotal reflections. The Arizona Alphabet Book can
adapt to any grade level to support lessons teaching the fun of learning
alliteration to Arizona geography. The rich illustrations by Michael
Ives are captivating enough to stand alone as a wordless book..
