The Hidden Alphabet


Who knew that ABCs could be such fun? Each page of Laura Vaccaro Seeger's text is a visual adventure. I may have enjoyed this delightful sensory experience more than my kindergarteners!

On each page, there is a top layer with a shape cut out to reveal an image associated with a word beginning with the specific letter (i.e. arrowhead for a). 
The reader lifts up the flap to reveal the entire letter, of which the first image is just one part. Seeger did the creative illustrations herself. Props. Here's a link to the flash version of the whole book. It's hard to explain, but  understand how tantalizing it is when you see it.
