Book Synopsis
This clever collection of poems offers a word for each of the twenty–six letters— E for elevator, I for igloo, S for science—followed by a brief, playful definition. The subject of the poems are wide–ranging, and young readers will enjoy discovering the word or words in each poem that start with the featured letter.

Trade Review
"Hopkins paves the way for children to think about the alphabet (and perhaps poetry as well), by offering one word for each letter and then a short, non-rhyming poem of definition that includes at least one more word also beginning with the letter. . . . Likely to be a popular choice for teachers to use in the classroom." —Kirkus Reviews

"A clever and child-friendly book of pithy poetry. . . . Both classes and individuals will find something here to ponder and play with." —Booklist
