Tomorrow's Alphabet

This book is fantastic! It provides a great opportunity for children to think. Most of the children in my first grade class caught on to the magic of this book, and those who weren't quite ready for it loved the illustrations.

Tomorrow's Alphabet

As a person in the education field, I love this book. Thre are so man projects and writing assignments that you can do connected with the book. The pictures are great. The book is a wonderful twist on an ABC book.

New about the old.

An alphabet book that every age can enjoy, with a new twist on an old theme. Each letter represents something that will come in the future with that letter as its first in spelling. For example, "e" is for wood, tomorrow's embers." What a creative way to introduce vocabulary and thinking skills! Try to create your own Tomorrow's Alphabet and add to the book.

Great with predicting!

This book is great to use for predicting outcomes. I just fold that second page back, read and show the first page, and then have the students guess what the second page might be. My students are 6th grade and they really enjoyed it. Some predictions were very easy, however, some really made you think.

Innovative!

My 4 year old daughter loved this book when I got it from the library. I first thought that it might be a bit confusing for her but she understood it perfectly and has memorized the entire thing. This book is definately a keeper.
