When a fierce wind threatens to blow all the little letters out of the alphabet tree, they must band together in words--and then sentences--to create a message that's even stronger than the wind: peace on earth. With their newfound knowledge, there's nothing the letters can't do in this gentle parable about the power of the written word.

Great story of what letters do
Published by Cindy, Sp Ed Teacher , 5 years ago
I like this book because it helps children understand what letters do. Letters allow us to read and write what is spoken, and that can be a difficult concept for some.
We must work together!

This book touches beyond the basics of letters forming words, and those words making sentences. More importantly, it shows us that all things must work together to obtain harmony. This book is an excellent example of teamwork, and without it, these letters and words could not have done or accomplished anything on their own. What an example to teach our youth of America. I highly recommend this book for everyone.

The Alphabet Tree is a wonderful spring board book to help emergent readers understand the importance of putting letters together to create words. I have used this book as an addition to other ABC books at the beginning of the school year for 1st grade children. They were excited and immediatly suggested ways that they could make words. Our classroom now has our own "Alphabet Tree" that the children put together. This is an excellent teaching tool.

I first discovered this book 35 years ago as a student teacher. I was thrilled to discover that it is back in print. Leo Lionni demonstrates for the young learner that letters make words and words make sentences. This book is especially useful in a classroom where phonemic spelling is encouraged. I recommend The Alphabet Tree to every Kindergarten teacher.
A must for every kindergarten and first grade classroom.

Leo Lionni captures every child's attention in his story about the alphabet tree. Learning the written language can seem overwhelming to a small child, but the The Alphabet Tree helps my students understand the writing process. It gives every child the confidence to become a writer.
