The Magic of Letters by Tony Johnston

4.0

Oh, the power of letters! String them together and you get words; move those words around to form sentences. Is there anything more transformative than that?! This delightful picture book opens with the sentence "Letters hold magic." and then goes on to explain why those squiggles on paper are so magical.The text changes size, color and style to reflect certain words, making this a visual delight as well as a lovely celebration of the power of language. Young readers will enjoy this on their own and as a read aloud, and teachers will find it to be an excellent classroom resource.
