5.0 out of 5 stars Creative ABC book, October 5, 2011
This review is from: Anno's Alphabet (Paperback)
I am now 29 and went through an entire bookshelf at home to find this book as I remembered enjoying the drawings in it lately. They are so creative. Nevermind the one star review below. This book is cute, entertaining, and exercises the brain as you look for hidden images in the borders of each page that also begin with the letter being displayed for that page. The back of the book has an answer key to what other objects begin with each letter found in the intricate border. Neat! I wish that it was still in print.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous, reveals more over time, December 9, 2011
This review is from: Anno's Alphabet (Paperback)
I really value complexity in books for my daughter. These pictures are gorgeous and mysterious, with their Escher-like perspective tricks. And the black-and-white decorative frame around every page is full of hidden pictures--more animals and plants that start with the letter of the page. The more you look the more you see--fantastic. I have to say I do wish that "G" were not for "gun" (an old-fashioned shotgun, looks like something out of Jane Austen), but the beauty and engrossing depth of the pictures makes up for it. I remember this from my 1970s childhood and rediscovered it at my daughter's preschool--wish it were in print!!

1.0 out of 5 stars evil pictures, August 25, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Anno's Alphabet (Paperback)
This is a clever book, but the more we looked at it the more we spotted some evil and mythological characters. Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone trying to avoid those things.
