Do your young readers and writers ever wonder why the letters of the alphabet are shaped the way they are? The answers to their questions can finally be answered. The letter C has an interesting tale. Her right side is open so cats can come for a cozy little catnap. The letter J on the other hand runs straight down and then jumps into a curve. The letter O is for obstacles that never get in the way. Young readers can get excited about learning the alphabet and learning new words. This rhyming story has colorful pictures that show each letter in its natural habitat. Not only that, young readers will learn how to write each letter and understand its sound.

Author Linda Jones and her illustrator son Branson Jones has created a wonderful pre-k/kindergarten book to teach kids the capital letters. The wonderful rhyming descriptions explain how to draw the letters, gives a word to help remember the letter. As a teacher who started out teaching kindergarten I can definitely see the value in having this book on your shelf. If I was teaching kindergarten today I would project one letter at a time, read the rhyme and have the students practice drawing the letter. I think this should be on every kindergarten classroom shelf.

As a preschool teacher I am always looking for ways for my students to develop pre-writing and writing skills. Because of the newer demands of kindergarten, children are pretty much required to know how to already write by the time they step foot into their kindergarten classroom. Alphabet Anatomy shows children how to write each letter. On each letter page, the authors give a fun rhyme that describes how to write each letter. For example the page for D says, "D climbs a ladder circles right in a dive, swims back to the ladder and comes out alive. D-Dive." These instructions give children a way to visually remember how to write each letter and states what sound each letter states. I am very much looking forward to using this book in my classroom. The pictures and the fun descriptions of each letter will even cause the not so eager writer to want to try to make each letter. I think that this is a necessary addition to all preschool books shelves! Even lower elementary classrooms will benefit from this book!

With creative drawing and snazzy rhymed sentences. Each letter has a unique word match to it. While some of the words are simple other are ones rarely used and nice to see them utilized to help kids learn the meanings.
I really liked the art in Alphabet Anatomy. It was done by the author’s son which is a neat bonus I am sure for the partners and readers.
Down side that letter X is a pain to rhyme darnit. I would have preferred to still have made the word associated with it a word beginning with an X, instead of Excited, even if I couldn’t rhyme with it. I thought it might confuse a child.
Alphabet Anatomy is a very good children’s picture book with great visual and smart sentences that the kids can have fun and learn at the same time.

In this picture book the alphabet comes alive with colorful characters with great personalities, style and fun in a rhyming tale of ABCs. The illustrations are bold and colorful and depict each and every letter in the alphabet.
This is one lively bunch of letters.
L is a little soldier with combat boots and a helmet! Very patriotic!
M is a mountain and he has snow caps. Oh, so Cool!
What a wonderful adventure into the Anatomy of the Alphabet! FUN! FUN! FUN!
The child will learn letter recognition, name, sound knowledge and writing ability.
On the back cover of the book is the four core elements:
Phonological awareness;
Letter identification;
Vocabulary development;
Recall and retell sentences and stories.
I highly recommend this book to teachers, parents, grandparents as an educational tool.
I rated this book a 5 out of

It was the perfect time for my daughter and I to read this book. We've been working on the alphabet a lot recently (she's almost got it down!) so we were really happy to read this. This book makes learning the alphabet fun. The letters are brought to life with very colorful and creative illustrations. Along with each illustration, there is a little rhyme that goes along with it that explains how to write the letters. I think this is very helpful when learning and memorizing. I still remember rhymes that I was taught when I was a youngster. 8x8 is 64, shut your mouth and say no more! 😉
I think this book is a really fun tool to use if you're working with a child on learning or writing the letters of the alphabet. Get your kids excited about learning! We are waiting to meet the lowercase letters now!

Alphabet Anatomy: Meet the Uppercase Letters is a cute picture book that gives the "backstory" to each letter. Every letter has its own rhyme that describes its shape and a picture that highlights the rhyme and includes other words of that letter.
The rhymes are clever and cute. Children will love them and the Jones did an excellent job of spelling out the features of the letters while keeping it fun. Letter formation can also be introduced with this book, because the rhymes describe the letter's "anatomy" in the stroke order you use while writing. Linda Ann Jones' bio does not say that she was an educator, but she must have been, the book is that well crafted.
This book is perfect for family reading time at home and teachers. I read it once in my Kindergarten classroom and the children have not stopped talking about it.
