Author Michael De Feo is a teacher and artist who achieved a certain amount of fame when his work was featured in The Art of Rebellion, the world's best-selling international survey of street art. But it was in his role as educator that De Feo came to the conclusion that the market was lacking in good art books for children and that's what inspired him to crate one himself. Alphabet City encourages both children and parents to pay attention to their everyday surroundings by placing De Feo's joyful images in the context of art in the streets. Witty and whimsical it is bound as a children's board and features high quality photographic reproductions throughout.

This review is from: Alphabet City: Out In The Streets (Board book)
i bought this book for my nephew because i was totally enamored with the unique way the alphabet is portrayed. the author used silk-screened posters he made and then wheat-pasted onto the streets of new yorks to illustrate the alphabet. not only that, but the examples used are different as well, no "a is for apple." the posters he made are beautiful and graphic, the photos are lovely, the book is large and opens top to bottom, and it just as fun for adults as it is for kids. even if your favorite baby isn't a city kid, this book will delight them.

Love the book! It's great to see fun, urban versions of the alphabets. I don't think my son cares much for it one way or another and it's probably a little harder for him to understand the images or even to "get "the cool graffiti factor, but it's a nice book to have on the shelf anyway.
