(4) K-3 Illustrated by Esther Pearl Watson. This alphabet book pairs letters with an artist's tool or material, media or technique, or something more abstract (e.g., Q for question). The rhyming text is dull ("B is for BRUSH, / used to paint or to write / On a wall or a page / or a canvas of white"), but the doodles and splotches of color are eye-catching. Fifteen project ideas are included.
