(4) K-3 Photographs by Matt Beam. In this unconventional urban alphabet book, color photographs of random words found in various places around the city of Toronto represent the letters. The words themselves are not linked by any particular theme: Art, Brute, Cameras, Drop, Evoke, etc. It's a creative and well-executed idea, but some words will be obscure to children.
