Alphathoughts: Alphabet Poems

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Marla Baggetta. In this collection of short poems defining words such as alphabet, elevator, ornithologist, and zoos, Hopkins not only chooses unusual terms but also juxtaposes playful and surprising concepts within each description. For example, K for Kitchen, "A / room / where / garlic / and / cupcakes / kiss." Bold, colorful full-page illustrations make this an attractive volume.
