LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Here is the HIT I promised ; there were over 50 answers and sometimes
there were duplicate titles offered. Sometimes I didn't include the
duplications for reasons of space. I hope this is useful....
********
Four Famished Foxes and Fosdyke by Pamela Edwards.
Dinorella is terrific! Doris and Dora don't do dishes, but instead make
Dinorella do all the dirty work. Also Princess Prunella and the Purple Peanut
is good.
*************
When I worked in a public library I found that tghere are many alphabet
books which do just this.
Graeme Base is one who springs to mind, and there's a wonderful book called
"Why are there more questions than answers, Grandad?" whose author escapes
me, which has a parrot who speaks always in alliterative sentences.
*********
Try Pamela Duncan Edwards: Four Famished Foxes and Fosdyke, Some Smug Slug
and an old title Aster Aardvarks Alphabet Adventure (integrates U.S.
geography as well.)
********
Try Some Smug Slug. I am at home and can't think of the author of this
picture book. It is terrific.
*******
Here are a few:
Lobel Alison's Zinnia Greenwillow
Shaw Sheep in a Shop (and other "Sheep" titles) Houghton-Mifflin
Steig Shrek Farrar
Kellogg Aster Aardvark's Alphabet Adventures Morrow
A good book for your teacher might be "Using Picture Storybooks to Teach
Literary Devices" by Susan Hall (2 vol., Oryx Press)
*********
Picture books on alliteration:
In Window Eight, the moon is late by Diane Worfolk Allison
Wild Wild Sunflower child by Nancy White Carlstrom
The Winter wren by Brock Cole
Chicken Little by Steven Kellogg
The rose in my garden by Arnold Lobel
The Patchwork Cat by William Mayne
Soup for supper by Phyllis Root
What's under my bed by James Stevenson
The voyage of the Ludgate hill by Nancy Willard
I got this out of a book called Using Picture Storybooks to Teach Literary
Devices by Susan Hall (published by Oryx Press--1990) Has different
chapters based on different
devices-irony/alliteration/flashback/imagery/inference/paradox, etc. There
are 30 devices in all. Great resource.
***********
Deleted your message then saw this in my local paper -- featuring the
author/illustrator
Ann Jonas, her book Watch William Walk is entirely alliterative -- looks
like beautiful illustrations too...
******
I just had a book in my book fair that was a great alliteration picture book:
it is called Dinorella by Edwards (She has written several and plans to write
one for each letter of the alphabet)
I forget her first name.
********
I can think of one right off hand that's Duke the Dairy Delight Dog ....
*******
Dr. Seuss???
**********
'Anamalia' by G. Base.
******
Sorry for the late post, but I'm just getting to my mail! I like Walking is
wild, weird and wacky by Kerber.

*******
Dr. Seuss' ABCs

Rebecca, there is an alphabet book that may meet this teacher's
requirements: Aster Aardvark's Alphabet Adventures by Steven Kellogg.

Rebecca - A good source for books teaching any kind of figurative
language is Teaching Literary Devices using Picture Storybooks from
Oryx Press. It comes in two volumes and both are loaded with
bibliographies for each of the elementary

of my head I don't have any in my memory. IF you can't find the book let me
know and I'll type some of the suggestions in. You might find other useful
information in the book however. :>) Sharron

Dear Rebecca, Try ANIMALIA by Graeme Base. It's a magnificently
illustrated alphabet book where everything on the page begins with the
designated letter. Here's an example: "Ingenius iguanas improvising an
intricate impromptu on impossibly impractical instruments." Janet Kleinberg
********
One of the funniest (thus hardest to read with a straight face) is
Piggy in the Puddle by Charlotte Pomerantz. It was published in 19 74 by
Macmillan. I don't know if it is still available, but it is great.
*******
Sorry for the late post, but I'm just getting to my mail! I like Walking is
wild, weird and wacky by Kerber.
