Take a new look at the alphabet

I recently read the new picture book, The Turn-Around, Upside-Down Alphabet Book.  And I must say, this is a new way to look at each letter in the alphabet.  Have you ever looked up at the clouds and imagined they took shape of animals or different obejcts? Well this book shows readers that letters can take different form and different shapes.  As you hold the book at different directions, the letter becomes multiple objects.  The letter "A" becomes a birds beak, a drippy ice-cream cone, and the point of a star.  Check out the book and you'll see what I mean. You'll never look at the alphabet the same ever again!
