This review is from: ABCs (Chunky Version) (Board book)
I loved this book! The illustrations of animals on each spread are graceful works of art. The delicate use of line, color and shape sometimes looks Japanese, sometimes like a collage made of construction paper. Others are loose pen-and-ink drawings.
You can tell the late Charley Harper loved animals, as his affection for them jumps off the page. There is so much personality! In D is for Dog, the smiling spaniel has dirt on his nose and legs, and you can almost see him panting. In I is for Iguana, two giant lizards battle for a captive tiny pig, swinging their tails and rearing up. Q is for Quail shows whirring wings on a fat and happy bird. The inside covers show a collage of dozens of other Harper animals, most of which are not used in the book. The board book itself is a little more sturdy than most. It will hold up well. Charley Harper's ABC's is an outstanding way to introduce fine artwork to young children. Other good choices include Zen Ties and Walt Disney's Cinderella.

This review is from: ABCs (Chunky Version) (Board book)
This book is a great sampling of Charley Harper's work and a great ABC board book for kids.
There is something interesting or cute in nearly every picture. Harper's unmistakable style makes the alphabet enjoyable.

Classical Harper,

This review is from: ABCs (Chunky Version) (Board book)
ABC's uses Harper's stylized graphics of animals with few words and lots of nature study. Delightful for adults and educational for children. I am a Harper fan and would not normally buy a board page book. The unusual binding makes the board pages work well.
