With the A to Z Challenge almost over, I decided to feature A to Z by Sandra Boynton for Perfect Picture Book Fridays. I may have to utlize this style for the A to Z Challenge in 2013. I’m feeling a bit “challenged” this month.
A to Z
Written and Illustrated by Sandra Boynton
Little Simon Books, 1995, newly revised edition
Suitable for: Ages one and up
Theme/Topic: Alphabet
Opening:
Aardvard Admiring
Beavers Ballooning
Cats Cleaning
Brief Synopsis: A simple alphabet books featuring animals and a funny action. Like “Hippos Hiding.”
Link to Resources: Back in February when I was all bold about participating in the A to Z. I offered the book Alphabet for Perfect Picture Book Fridays. It features a lot of animals too. Here’s an alphabet printable. We discuss ways (sometimes it’s a one-way discussion) the animals in Boynton’s book are doing unusual things. Here are alphabet worksheets.
Why I chose this book: I have the alphabet on the brain this month with the A to Z Challenge.

My favorite line: (sometimes it’s a one-way discussion)
Thanks for the morning giggle!
Congrats on making to the end – just about. I could have have made it past “G” I think!
Cathy, It is indeed a one-way discussion sometimes. I love it when I catch him studying picture book illustrations on his own.
Such a perfect choice for A to Z month 🙂 Thanks for another great alphabet book – I love anything Boynton 🙂 – and the more alphabet books the merrier! 🙂
I have read this and it is so cute! I love Sandra Boyton, too. I have several her books on my iPad (for me…since I have no little ones 🙂
Great way to end the A to Z challenge. Like your selection and I imagine Enzo enjoys it even more. Laughed a the photo, after I read your comment. When I first looked at it, I thought it was a poster on the wall with balloons — thought you had created an activity/game. Then I realized it was your stash! LOL
Hi Stacy! Looks like a cute A to Z book.
Can I call dibs on the black jelly beans?
These books always remind me of my “babies'” baby and toddler days. I can’t read a Sandra Boynton without getting a little misty.
We LOVE Sandra Boynton books in our house! This is a great pick!
Simple and funny, does seem like a perfect pick! Thanks, Stacy!
Hi Stacy, for some reason, I have a fascination with quirky, strange, and non-traditional Alphabet Books. This sounds like one of them, very cute! Perfect for the treasured little ones indeed.
I love Sandra Boynton! Reminds me of when my boys were little.
I love the alphabet book that says, “I’m unusual.” So this is one I’d love to get my hands on. Sandra Boyton is awesome. *grabs a jelly bean*
Nice choice of jellybeans. 🙂 And great choice for PPBF! I love when we have books that can be read with and handled by the really little ones! Congrats on completing your A-Z Challenge! Hope I will see you at the next SCBWI local meeting…not sure when it is, but I’m sure they will send an email.
Sandra Boynton is very popular in our house. A to Z is so fun! Great post.
