I took this book to school with me because we were learning the alphabet. My teacher and friends thought it was very different from the other books we saw. My teacher had us draw pictures like the ones in ABC POP! We had fun and the pictures were hung up in the class. I want to be an artist and do books too. I liked the colors and the way each picture was so funny. Will there be more books like this?

Went to the library and found this book for my son. We have enjoyed many hours discussing modern art because of its stimilation. We discussed color, style and form. I explained how this art has influenced style, art, music, etc. today. And then we went to the museum to look at Pop art. What a wonderful book- I will always treasure it- I hope Ms. Isadora comes up with more books like this....Numbers POP! and I hope she reads this review!

What a great book!!! I think these drawings belong in a museum. There was a lot of talent and creativity that went into this. I will purchase this book for any children, both young and old, that I know. Thank You Ms. Isadora

I am a school librarian and my class and I are writing this review. Everyone thinks it is a great classic. We have done pictures in the various styles displayed in the book and have had the greatest time. We will be visiting the museum nearest to us which has modern art just to see where Ms. Isadora's inspiration came from. We want to thank her for letting us see the world in a different way.

What a magnificant book! I am an artist and a father and bought this book for my son Abe and we just love it. It has inspired him to draw in this modern style and I enjoy seeing the results. Right on Ms. Isadora!

I simply loved this book, it's about time a great visual Pop art book came out. I think the pictures are so original and yet draw on the artwork of the original artists. Looking at this book is like visiting a museum. Thank you, Ms. Isadora and I hope there will be more!

Although visually striking, this book falls short of meeting the criteria of a good ABC learning book. The pictures used to represent the letter sounds were not always the first word that comes to a child's mind. For example: an artist's palette with pools of paint leads a child to say "paint" instead of "colors" as the artist intended. Dishes of ice cream are "S for sundae", a man playing a trumpet is "M for music" and these are only 2 more examples. "ABC Pop!" is wonderful for its illustrations but there are much better books to teach the ABC's.
