Farm Alphabet Book
Miller, Jane
Prentice Hall 1983
Alphabet Book
Grades K-3

This book teaches young students the alphabet by using words associated to farms. The author uses animals, farm tools, landscapes, vegetation, etc. After the word is introduced, the author then explains what the word is. For example, for the letter "P" the author used Pig. Then, the author says "This is a picture of a mother pig, called a sow. A father pig is a boar. A young pig is a piglet".

I think that this is a creative way for students to learn the alphabet. As the students learn letters, they are also learning about farms and farming. This book could also be integrated into a science class because it has animals, landscapes, vegetation, locations, etc. Overall, I think this is an effective book for teachers to use to teach the alphabet.
