Found Alphabet By Ramon Shindler and Wojciech Graniczewski

This book introduces the letters of the alphabet by showing illustrations that are made out of random objects that can be found in daily life. Each page provides a rhyming passage that engages the reader to the wording and the illustrations. In addition, some of the text wraps around the found objects drawing extra attention to the illustrations. I like this picture book because it reminds children that concepts do not have to be learned in a dramatic way. On the cover of this book it states “the ordinary becomes the extraordinary”. I loved this book because it symbolizes what teaching is all about. Teaching is about educating individuals but also in an exciting memorable way. Although not all concepts taught in school can be made into a fun way, it is the teacher’s job to give children tools for their own success. When a child learns how to reach their full potential on their own, a teacher has done their job. I also liked how the illustrators used soft blue and yellow tones to make the illustrations pop off the page.
