abc children’s book meme

#3 in an ongoing series of posts celebrating the alphabet.

I’m a sucker for the alphabet!

Saw this fun meme posted by Carrie at Reading to Know and couldn’t resist. Though you’re supposed to list your all-time favorite books from A-Z, I decided to narrow my focus (classic children’s novels), to make it easier. It was still really hard deciding on just one title for each letter. Have you ever noticed how many classics begin with the letter, “L,” especially the word, “Little?” *Tearing hair out*

If you want to play, consider yourself tagged! Please let me know so I can go read your list! Next time, I might challenge myself to do a picture book list.

E – Everything on a Waffle

Calling all fish lovers!

Whip out your good time goggles and dive straight into this playful book!

Leslie Ann Hayashi and Kathleen Wong Bishop, long time pals from Wahiawa (the unheralded center of the creative universe), really know how to make a splash when it comes to the alphabet.

Did someone just say alphabet? Hold me down, please.
