Alphabet Mystery by Audrey and Bruce Wood

In this picture book letters of the alphabet are represented as little children with human personalities. They reside on Charlie's bookshelf. They have their own beds and go to sleep every night. They work together with Charlie and help him in many ways.  This picture book would be a very effective and humorous way of introducing children to the alphabet. I believe it would  surely keep their attention as the letters would be seen in completely different light. They would become all of sudden little helpers that every child could rely on to help them with many tasks that they weren't even aware of yet.  The author also gives emphasis to X, letter with which few words begin.
How to use this book in the classroom? The idea that comes to my mind is perhaps to have collection of cut -out letters in different colors both small and capital. As I would read the book to children I would point out to each letter the books discusses. I would also have several sets of alphabet for children to play with and organize them in several ways. We would together reconstruct with out set of letters pictures in the book.
 Children could look at the pages and for each page find out the letters in their own set that appears on the page. I think this book is excellent way to introduce alphabet, to affirm the knowledge of it with the kindergarten and first grade children.
