Wonderful, delightful book for children and others who read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
When Pumpkin looks up at me with his great, long-lashed eyes and says, "Again?" (Pumpkin is 14 months old), I am grateful for Tobias' wonderful book. This book stands up to repeated readings with grace and aplomb. (Good for adults as well as kids.) Such a dreamy, evocative, intelligent selection of quotations, placed so beautifully one can forget it's an alphabet book and just enjoy the ride.
A unique look at the alphabet
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Every time I think I've seen everything that can be done with an alphabet book, something truly unique comes along. This little gem uses quotations from a wide range of people, celebrity and non-celebrity to 'illustrate' an alphabetical list that will appeal to children. From animal and book to yard and zoo, this is a new kind of alphabetical book, enhanced by illustrations that are 'out-of-this-world.'
