found: Sommer, J. Understanding ABC books : forms of alphabet books and their benefits for children, via WWW, viewed Jan. 15, 2020(ABC books may be rhyming, or feature other sound properties such as alliteration; be illustrative, showing multiple pictures for one letter; involve visual puzzles that require a solution; be based upon popular characters familiar to children; be artistic, where the illustrator or photographer has taken liberties with the shape and form of the letters; or be contextual, providing information about a particular subject; By definition, an alphabet book in the English language is a picture book that shows the sequence of the letters A to Z; concise, rarely exceeding 60 pages and have a consistent organizational pattern, i.e., they almost always go from A to Z. In a few instances, they may go from Z to A, but they are predictable in either instance. Alphabet books are usually focused around a specific concept or theme. The illustrations in alphabet books normally play a major role in the book. In fact, the text and the illustrations must work together in order for the child to gain any benefit; some more advanced alphabet books expand on the sounds of letters and introduce alliteration, onomatopoeia, rhyming, and other sound properties)
