O BATALHÃO DAS LETRAS

The battalion of letters, Mario Quintana's first work aimed at children, was originally published in 1948. Innovative, the book presents the alphabet while teaching poetry, sometimes highlighting the graphic forms of letters, sometimes their phonemes. A unique poetic alphabet, in which the author plays with the letters and words of our language, the book contains twenty-eight stanzas that present the alphabet, its graphic forms and its phonemes, always in association with the objects and environment of the children's universe.
