Book Overview
"Because you can't stand another apple, ball, or cup," Sandra Boynton presents an alphabet book of animals and adjectives. An Angry Animal Assortment Along an Arrow starts off the whimsy as a Big Bashful Bear, a Cute Clean Cat, a Tangled Turkey, a Wide Walrus, a Yellow Yak, and others in between romp through the letters A-Z. In classic Boynton style, the irresistible animal characters climb the tall letters, perch on the squat ones, hang from the curves of the round ones. Selection of the Children's Book-of-the-Month Club. Suitable for ages 3-5.

Sandra Boynton, A Is for Angry
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
How can you not love Sandra Boynton? But . . . help me! We've only had the book for a week or two and I can recite it from memory! If you have children aged 2-4, be aware that you may be hounded to read it every night for the foreseeable future.
Great alphabet book!

I love this alphabet book! It has large letters & animal pictures along with adjectives describing the animals & their attitudes. I bought 2 more copies so I could hang the pictures on my son's wall. Great for any fan of Boynton or anyone who wants an entertaining & educational a-z book.
Hurray for this book

This ranks right up there with the best of Boynton's childrens' books. (I don't like them all and I don't give many "5"s). This is just such a fresh fun approach to the alphabet and it uses the best of her whimsical humor. So many alphabet books out there just use one noun for each letter but breaking from tradition she uses adjectives (gasp!) and nouns. She also doesn't use unicorn or umbrella for "U". Great for learning. Great for fun. Worth every penny. I'm glad it became available again.
C is for CUTE!!!

I bought this for my 3 year old son and he loves it, as do my other kids, 5 and 2. The kids love the silly animals doing silly things, Sandra Boynton's trademark. There is an animal and an adjective beginning with each letter. I like that there are negative emotions sprinkled in-- ever get sick of kid's media being either all sweetness and light or all obnoxious backtalk, with no real life anywhere? My kids sit and discuss why the Anteater might be Angry (someone ate all the ants?) or why the Opossum is Outraged (the Playful Pig on the facing page is making fun of him!), which has been so interesting to listen to! This is a very cute, interesting, not ordinary alphabet book that is engaging for many ages.
A is for Amazed
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
My daughter was a year and eight months old when I first bought this book. Admittedly that's a bit early for an alphabet, but it was the illustrated adjectives that she loved from the start. Angry, Bashful, Clean, Dirty, ... Young, Zany. She was practicing facial expressions in the mirror and still imitates the cat's frown when she wants to warn us that we're crossing the line - and she's quick to giggle out of it when we recognize the imitation.We started Boynton with a gift of Barnyard Dance (5/5) and have bought many since. A is for Angry, Snoozers, and Barnyard Dance are the most fun and stick more than any of our other books (by anybody), so far (eight months later). Enthusiastically recommended.
