An inventive alphabet book with three-dimensional illustrations - especially accessible for preschoolers "C is for Clowncurved round like a noodle. D is for Dog who looks like a poodle." Come meet the most stupous performers in town - monkeys on stilts, sheep on trapeze, and clowns of all shapes and sizes. These are just a few of the zany characters you'll discover at this three-ring show. But unlike most circus affairs, the performers in this extraordinary cast turn, twist, and flip through the air as they form the letters of the alphabet from A to Z. With playful verse and stunning illustrations - made of everything from cotton to wallpaper fabric - Linda Bronson brings the alphabet and the circus together under one quirky tent.
My 5 year old daughter picked this book out at the library(we had to re-new for an additional 3 weeks because she loved it). It has beautiful, bright circus type pictures with the subject shaped like a letter. I enjoyed reading the rhyme to her, and it was fun for her to "find" the letter in the picture. I think this is a great book for anyone with pre-k and kindergarten kids.
