Tomorrow's Alphabet

Tomorrow’s Alphabet by George Shannon is wonderful alphabet book for children. This book gives the letter of something that will be tomorrow, and says what it is today. One example is, “T is for bread – tomorrow’s Toast”. This book is a great way to show how many things are made and/or what they are made from.

The only confusing part of this book is that it says the letter is for something, but that something is not necessarily a word beginning with that letter. As in the previous example, bread does not have the letter “T” in it. This could be misleading to a very young reader.

Other than the minor confusion, I would recommend this book to all kindergarten classrooms as a great ABC picture book.
