A clever idea, but harder than I realized for young children: E is for embers, J is jack-o'-lantern. Each two-page spread has today on the left and tomorrow on the right; I covered the right side and had kindergartners guess what the word would be. For example, A is for seed---tomorrow's apple. ( )

Today's start is tomorrow's growth. This book explains that today's seed is tomorrow's apple, today's eggs are tomorrow's birds, and today's milk is tomorrow's cheese.

This book is an alphabet book that relies on the second stage of the object being described. Ex. A is for todays seed and tomorrows apples. ( )

This is an alphabet book, that encourages students to predict what item will come from the original. For example the book states, "E is for fire, tomorrow's ember" or "N is for twigs, tomorrow's nest."

This book should only be used with students who have a clear understanding of graphemes, otherwise they may become confused. This is a great way to introduce the concept of predictions to young readers, and it also displays the idea of cause and effect. This book could be used with older readers, and they can then create their own "tomorrow's alphabet" book. Overall, this book is fun and can educate readers about what different items originate as.
