White Is for Blueberry, another book by George Shannon, could be read as an activity too. It was featured on Perfect Picture Book Fridays here.
Why I chose this book: I found some copies of George Shannon's books at the library after he was featured on Julie Hedlund's Write Up My Life. It's a unique alphabet book which adds two vocabulary words for each letter. The first word mentioned with the letter, often does not match. For example, C is for milk — tomorrow's cheese.
