The Graphic Alphabet is written and illustrated by David Pelletier and is a Caldecott Honor Book. This alphabet book is simple to read, with only one word on each page, and extremely visual pictures help distinguish each letter in the alphabet. The book is appropriate for children between the ages of 4 and 8. The illustrations in this book are computer-generated images reproduced in full color. While the illustrations embody the meaning of the word, they also take the shape of the letter being represented. In a classroom setting, younger students just now learning the abc’s may not grasp the concept as well as that of a student already studying the alphabet. This book may relate more to children in the first and second grade, where teachers can also use it to teach vocabulary. In my opinion The Graphic Alphabet is a sophisticated book for a child and brings a new element to learning the abc’s.
