Book Overview
Priscilla Cummings's Chadwick the Crab series has been a staple of Chesapeake juvenile literature for more than a decade. Now Ms. Cummings turns her hand to another classic genre, the ABC book, this one with a Chesapeake regional flavor. From "A is for anchor" to "Z is for a zephyr," the sights, sounds, and feel of the Bay come through to the youngest of readers. This is a perfect way to introduce toddlers and preschoolers to the wonders of the alphabet and instill in them a love of the Chesapeake. (Also review its companion book, Chesapeake 1-2-3.) Whimsical drawings by David Aiken illustrate the verses about Chesapeake animals and things. Preschool to grade 2.

A wonderful abc book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I checked this book out of the library and now plan to buy it for my children. If you live near, have ever lived near, or have ever visited the Chesapeake Bay, you will find the text and artwork enchanting. The rhymes for each letter are clever and the illustrations are wonderful. In fact, anyone who lives on or visits the water (it doesn't have to be the Cheasapeake Bay) would find a connection to this book. A great abc book.
