Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Each page of this entrancing, original alphabet book offers the reader a baker's dozen or more of word pictures that spill from uppercase to lowercase. A large block letter K , for example, is stuffed with pictures of kittens, keyholes and kites, while jaunty kangaroos wearing karate robes leap from the large K to the small k where they frolic with licorice-nosed koalas. The cobwebs from dusty W windows are attached to a small w wedding of a wizard to a witch. An incomplete list of words appears at the bottom of each page. The sheer number of pictures will delight children learning vocabulary and sounds, and the illustrations are spectacular, full of verve and inventiveness. All ages.

This review is from: From Letter to Letter: 2 (Hardcover)

I watched my (almost 3 yr old) daughter sift through the pages of this book today at the library. I was a bit surprised that she was so taken to it. She was drawn to the very large drawings of each of the letters both in caps & lowercase. I like that they have both upper & lowercase on the same page as my daughter is just learning lowercase & has difficulty with many that don't look similar.

Within each of the uppercase letters there are many beautiful illustrations of things that start with that letter. The lowercase letters (to the right) are surrounded by a scene that depicts events or things that start with that letter also. At the bottom of each page there is a list of words that correspond to the above pictures. I appreciated the fact that while there were very common things in the drawings, there were also many not-so-common drawings. Makes an adult stop & look!

This book is beautifully illustrated (no cartoons). I see this book as being very versatile while being usable for baby preschoolers to young elementary. There's always something strange or interesting to talk about on each page. I will definitely be purchasing this book soon.
