What children's books have alliteration?

Answer 1

Thank you for the Thistle by Dorie Thurston uses beautiful alliteration in a story about Great Aunt Nellie who loves bird watching. Her nice nephew comes for a visit and discovers that she forgot to put the thistle seed out for the goldfinches. This book introduces young readers to the fun of poetic word sounds and teaches a love of language in a story certain to make every reader smile. www.doriebooks.com

Here is an example from the book:

Great Aunt Nellie and Brent Bernard watched with wild wonder at the wide window as the beautiful birds began to bite into the bountiful birdseed. Then as Brent Bernard gladly gazed through the glistening glass, he gasped, "Gee, Great Aunt Nellie, why aren't any golden goldfinches going to the goodies?" "Oh," said Aunt Nellie, "They thrive on thistle and I thoroughly thought that I threw the thistle out there. Fiddlesticks, I foolishly forgot to find their favorite food!"

The category is as diverse as nursery Rhymes and poetry. One rather silly and oddly orignally militant example was the Dr. Seuss ( I am no fan of him) One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, which can be easily interpreted as an alliteration (not strictly speaking a parody) of the opening sequences of the (Wellington Victory) By Beethoven, used for many years on I believe the Huntley-brinkley news. It the muscial version WA ssupposed to be battle themed, like l8l2 Overture or in reverse order- Walkking int he Rain with the l05"s letting go at the begining of the song. There is nothing violent at all about One fish, Two fish, etc.

Some examples of Children's Books that feature alliteration are "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" by Bill Martin Jr., "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss, and "Caps for Sale" by Esphyr Slobodkina. These books use repetition of initial consonant sounds to create a rhythmic and engaging reading experience for children.

Answer 3

Thank You for the Thistle by Dorie Thurston has alliteration from the first page to the last page. It is about Great Aunt Nellie, who loves to feed the birds, but she forgets to feed the goldfinches their thistle seed. Brent Bernard comes to visit and helps her. "Brent Bernard then filled the feeder and after he finally finished, he fleetingly flew up the stairs to flash the feeder full of the fine feast in front of Aunt Nellie."

Answer 4

Dr. Suess books have a lot of aliteration. Animaliaillustrated by Graham Base is an alphabet book with loads of aliteration. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin is another good choice. Another goodie is Chris Van Allsburg's The Z Was Zapped.
