Denise Fleming has once again delivered a winner!  The hungry mouse from Lunch returns to construct each letter of the alphabet.  The illustrations are colorful and contain abstract and concrete ideas.  The mouse constructs each letter using a different technique that corresponds to that letter, i.e. A is airbrushing.  The book concludes with mouse completing the alphabet on time and a work schedule showing the days on which each letter was constructed.  This is a great alphabet book to use in a unit on construction.  (Trade Book)
