Seeger, Laura Vaccaro. The hidden alphabet. New ed. Brookfield, Conn.: Roaring Brook Press, 2010. Print. 32 pages.
Age Group:	2 to 4 years
Book Format:	Picture Book
Annotation:	A fun Picture Book dealing with learning the Alphabet in a very clever way.
Personal Reaction:	The author/illustrator has each page framed with a black lift up cover.  Each letter contains a picture of an item whose name begins with the letter; when the child lifts the frame the object’s picture is included in a picture of the specific letter. A great example is the page for “F”, when first looking at the page the young reader sees a variegated green scaled fish surrounded in blue.  Upon lifting the page the whole page is covered with the green scales and the capital “F” is blue.  The fish is actually the center of horizontal lines of the “F”. The pictures are very memorable that children will be able to associate the letters and pictures, thus improving their visual association and oral vocabulary.
