I want to show you a beautiful book I discovered called Peanut Butter and Jellyfishes: A Very Silly Alphabet Book 
The book was illustrated by Betsy E. Snyder and I think the pictures are fantastic. The style of the book is reminiscent of Eric Carle’s painted paper collages.
Aren’t they beautiful? On each page of the book are pictures that feature things that start with one letter of the alphabet. My first grade students created an ABC book by drawing a letter of the alphabet to be the focus of the page. Then, they filled the rest of the page with things that started with that letter.
The students were happy with the book and they had fun brainstorming ideas for their drawings. When I do this project again, I will probably have them make collages with colorful and painted papers to make their words. I was worried that it might be too hard for them, but I think next time we will try!
