There's a series called "...Adventures in Alphabet Town". Such as "A's
Adventures in Alphabet Town". Another series is "My (letter Book", such as
"My a Book". I used them with my pre-k class last year. I moved up to
kindergarten this year and they have asked me to read them again!
[Note: These books are out of print]

AlphaTales by Scholastic is a reading program that includes a book for each
letter of the alphabet. You can buy the books separately. My kids love
listening for the words that start with the letter of the day.
...
The Berenstain Bear's B book would be great for B.
.....
Our library has the series "See it. Say it. Hear it." It was published
by ABDO Publishing, and the ISBN for the Z book is 1-57765-446-3.
The teachers and kids really enjoy this set, which not only covers
individual letters, one per book, but also covers different sounds and
letter pairs (th, sh, for example).
[I searched for this under amazon; the publisher that came up was
Sandcastle, which is an imprint of ABDO, but I couldn't find these books]
........
we like Elmer the patchwork elephant for E, and Brown Bear, Brown Bear for
B, and there is a book called The Worrywarts which is almost all W sounds.
...............
There's a Dinorella book for the letter D. It's not GREAT literature
but the kids enjoyed it. I was introduced to it through a Scholastic
book fair preview a few years ago. Sorry I don't have author or even
the complete title. Dinorella might be it.
.....
[ Books that don't quite fit the category but can be used..]
I just did a quick scan of my children's book shelves here at home and
found a few (better quality literature) that might work if she's not a
purest and is willing to work a little on the "find the letters" aspect
of her lesson.
For example: "T" Freight Train by Donald Crews "Train runs across
this Track. ...Tunnels....Trestles....
"M" More, More, More Said the Baby by Vera Williams
"B" Big Black Bear by Wong Herbert Yee (great for manners, too!)
"C" The City Mouse and the Country Mouse. (Oh boy the /s/ and the /k/
sounding Cs.....)
"P" Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse by Henkes !!!
