The Disappearing Alphabet

The Disappearing Alphabet
Richard Wilbur

HMH Books for Young Readers
New York
1998

This book explains what would happen if the alphabet disappeared. What if there were no letter A? Cows would eat HY instead of HAY. What's HY?   It shows what life would be like without these 26 letter of the alphabet. It show that they may be little, but they are powerful.

I would use this book to demonstrate to students how important the letters of the alphabet are. It shows students that just eliminating one letter changes so much. Students will find this poetry book humorous and want to read it. It makes you really think about how important the letters of the alphabet are.
