Author Jane Yolen will be serving as Honorary Ambassador of Winterthur's K is for Kids exhibition. To further spark creativity and appreciation for reading she is sponsoring a national alphabet book contest. Youth in grades K through 12 can win prizes for creating their own ABC books. The author will select the winners and present awards in each category during a spring visit to Winterthur.

Here are her 7 Rules for Writing an ABC Book:

1. First you must know the alphabet yourself. If you are a little forgetful, sing the alphabet song 'till you remember it all.

2. Write the alphabet down the side of a piece of paper, one letter per line.

3. Think of a theme for your book. For example: an alphabet of faires, an alphabet of dogs, an alphabet of kitchen appliances (this one is likely to be difficult), an alphabet of countries, an alphabet of pirates, an alphabet of sports. Any theme can make an interesting alphabet book.

4. Next to each letter, put an item from your theme. For example, in dog alphabet: A= Airedale; B= Boxer; C= Chihuahua. Better yet, start with the most difficult letters: J, Q,X. If you can't find a word for a least two of the three difficult letters, get a different theme. Though of course, in a pirate alphabet at least two of the three difficult letters are really easy: X marks the spot, and J stands for jewels.

5. Decide if you want to try rhymes or just use the single word, filling everything else in with pictures. Hints: Don't try to rhyme if you're not good at it, and don't count on the illustrations if you hate doing art.

6. Find a good dictionary and a great encyclopedia and keep them close by.

7. Start. Have fun. Don't get discouraged. Ask for help if you need it. Enjoy!

Details for the contest can be found at Alphabet Book Contest
