Alphabetabum: An Album of Rare Photographs and Medium Verses by Vladimir Radunsky, Chris Raschka

High concept but ultimately just didn't work for me because the concept beat out the substance. Kids who like this however, might eventually climb the reading ladder to Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs when they're older.

Entrancing old photographs are paired with 3-line alliterative poems about the subjects. Each page made me want to linger, wondering who these children were. This book would pair beautifully with an upper elementary writing project.

The pictures are really neat, but the text is not that good.
