A My Name is Andrew is a delightful romp through the alphabet. Each letter is its own story and my children each have their favorite. Beautiful illustrations enhance the smart verse. Kudos to McManus for creating a readable alphabet book! I even learned a few things in the glossary!!!!

Stop what you're doing and buy this book immediately! By far one of the best children's books to come along in a long time. Forget about Madonna's attempts at children's literature, this is the one to watch! Brilliantly written and beautifully illustrated. An absolutely clever, and charming example of a learning-storybook. Keep them coming, Mary!

I happened upon this book quit by accident, when looking for a birthday present for my nephew, Andrew. I purchased it because of the name and was pleasently surprised as to how well written it was. My nephew, whom we call Drew loves his book and has taken it to school to show it off to his friends. Also as a nurse,I taken it with me to work. Many of my co-workers have also purchased for themselves. It truly appeals to a very broadspectrum of people. The glossary in the back is a great idea for young children to start enhancing their vocabulary, you can't start to early. I truly hope the author is planning another book,I will be watching for it. Job well done, Mary McManus Burke!!!:-)

As a children's librarian, I was delighted with the language, concepts and alliteration of this treasure!!! This book works on so many levels: sounds, images, multi-cultural information, but most importantly captures the world of a child. It is delicious to read and to hear. Kudo's to the author!!!

Delightful text. Colorful, captivating illustrations. The Glossary at the back of the book is wonderful. My childen have already learned many new words. Bravo!

I am a grandmother of soon to be 15, WOW!!! I found it very inspirational that a Grandmother wrote such a wonderful book. Her grandchildren are very lucky!! I hope she keeps writing! I have read it to all my grandchildren and they love it. It is a great book to read when you want some quality time with the kids. Great Job Mary, from one Grandma to another

DO NOT buy this book if you are expecting a book about a child named Andrew. The book features the entire alphabet and each letter highlights a new child's name. Comprehensive and great creativity but NOT about Andrew.
