Alphabet Book Discussion Video

This forty-minute video goes over a lot of the material our text covers in the sections about Alphabet Books, Chapbooks, and Primers.

The video includes a commentary on a series of images taken in the main from Alphabet Books with an emphasis in the end on a modern Alphabet Book, Gone Wild, a book about endangered species throughout the world.

I hope that this short discussion helps you, for I suggest ways in which modern alphabet books borrow from devices utilized in traditional alphabet books.  But many contemporary books such as the one featured in the video move in different directions.

The video is also available as an iPod video you can download.
