A is for pencil

I'm working on a book project that is based upon a school program I gave for many years.  Back then I called it "visual thinking".  It was a way to get children to look at objects creatively and in this instance to encourage the innate cartoonist that dwells inside every kid.


The concept is pretty simple:  Take a letter of the alphabet and make a picture out of it.

Lower case h is a little girl reaching for a star


Its sort of a subversive alphabet book in which A is for pencil and C is for salt shaker.  I know that kids will enjoy it, they certainly did when we were doing this together in classrooms.

Its written in rhyme, no less.

What does a lower case q suggest to you?

 yeah, me too.



Stay tuned!

The challenge was to do a coloring book that was also an alphabet book that told the battle story in sequence and in rhyme...whew!

 

Here is the result.  Happy coloring.
