This is a cleverly written alphabet book. This book is written about goats, and the author uses a rhyming scheme throughout the book to tell the story. For example, E is for Ears, some floppy, some not and F is for Flowers, which goats eat a lot. I don't think I have ever read an alphabet book like this, so I really enjoyed it and wanted to see how the author was going to use the next letter and relate it to goats.
This book would be a great book to use during an alphabet genre study. The rhyming scheme and the flow of a story I think are two important keys to this book. I think it would be fun to have the student pick a theme and have an alphabet book that tells a story about that theme. This book would also be great for discussing letter sounds with the younger students. Another thing I think could be done is having a class theme and then every student is assigned a single letter. Then the students have to come up with some for their letter that goes along with the theme, then we would create our own class alphabet books. Also, this book does a good job of having illustrations that reinforce the text and students of all ages need to comprehend this element of writing.
