The alphabet book has nearly become a genre of its own within the world of children's literature. With every child's bookshelf containing one or two alphabet books that proclaim, "A is for Apple, B is for Banana" or alternately, "A is for Ant, B is for Bear," it's easy to see how the elegant and informative alphabet titles from Sleeping Bear Press are redefining the genre.M is for Maple: A Canadian Alphabet by Mike Ulmer is quickly becoming the quintessential Canadian version of the alphabet book. Illustrated in rich, glowing oils by accomplished artist Melanie Rose, and covering a broad range of topics that are woven deeply throughout the culture of Canada, this beautiful book is both appealing and useful in a wide variety of age groups and settings.Each letter of the alphabet is introduced through rhyming text that draws out one symbol, historical personage, location, people group, sport, and so on, that helps to capture the spirit of Canada as a whole.So instead of a simple, "A is for Anne," readers are treated to:"A is for Anne - that's Anne with an Ea red headed orphan who loved Avonlea.The Cuthberts had thought they were adopting a boy,But that red headed girl would be their pride and their joy."Informative sidebar text that digs into the presented subject matter provides background information, facts, and trivia - leaving readers `in the know' about important Canadian topics. Adding to the educational element, Sleeping Bear Press also has a free downloadable teaching guide available for grades 2 - 6, helping teachers dig deeper into the presented materials with their students.
