Book #1: Dr. Seuss's ABC
The books written by Dr. Seuss over ten years ago still have an important place in children's literature today. While reading Dr. Seuss's ABC book it is no wonder why these books continue to be a mainstay in children's literature.As a piece of literature, this book accomplishes the most important goal of literature, teaching the audience. Each letter in the alphabet is written in upper and lower case to help children visualize not only words associated with the letter but the actual letter itself. Each letter contains brightly colored illustrations that are filled with mystical creatures such as the "Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz," the "animal" used to describe the letter "Z." Another feature I found imperative to the ultimate understanding of the alphabet is how each letter is introduced. After the first few letters are introduced they begin introducing new letters in sequential order, so children recognize that "G" not only stands for "Goat, girl, and googoo goggles," it also comes after the letter "F" and before the letter "H." I found this book to be very exciting and informational. (who can really complain when they are reading Dr. Seuss) I would strongly recommend this book for children of all ages!
