Tangerines and Tea, My Grandparents and Me by Ona Gritz

An alphabet book that uses alliterative rhyming phrases for each letter and illustrations that demonstrate siblings visiting grandparents on their farm.

The illustrations are full inviting children to identify many objects. The word choice and rhyming make this a fun book to read aloud. At first, I did disagree with this categorization as an alphabet book. The letters are not shown with the rhyme so it would not be as useful as some in letter recognition. However, it is helpful in reinforcing the sound of each letter.
