This is an online photocopy of the original text of the children's book Alphabet of Birds by McLoughlin Bros. (c1885), a picture book of birds for each letter of the alphabet.

This article provides links to six web sites that provide an overview of cause/effect relationships, graphic organizers, and teaching strategies for elementary teachers.

Students use picture books in this lesson to find ideas for research paper topics and structures. Through the use of these resources, students are able to shape content in a much more meaningful way.

This review of "Snowflake Bentley" written by Jacqueline Briggs Martin and illustrated by Mary Azarian features related activities for this Caldecott medal winning book.

The lesson focuses on the book, Doggone Dogs by Karen Beaumont; illustrated by David Catrow.  Students will focus on the illustrations in the book and how they enhance the text and offer more detail than the words.
