Jeffers, O. (2014). Once upon an alphabet. New York: Philomel Books.
About the Book
Each letter of the alphabet has a short story written using that letter in the text. For example the letter Ee, is about an Enigma. How many elephants can you fit into an envelope?The letter Ll is about a Lumberjack's Light. My favorite letter is Dd. The short story incorporates 11 different words that begin with D. Delilah is a daredevil who runs the neighborhood doing dangerous things. I also find Delilah to be a free spirit, which reminds me of my daughter.
Visual Elements of Art Evaluation
Bookmaking:
Font/Typeface/text/illustrations –
The illustrations and the text work together to balance out
the information in the book. The reader needs to words to explain the pictures
and vice versa.
Literature Evaluative Criteria
Pun / Wordplay – Each letter of the
alphabet is used in the book. A different story is shared using the letter of
the alphabet in the word choices. For example the letter D is for Danger
Delilah who is a daredevil who faces Death and dances at the door of Disaster.
