The A to Z Book [Hardcover]

Glenn G. Gauthier (Author, Illustrator)

Book Description

The A to Z Book, written by award-winning artist Glenn Gauthier, gives teachers and parents a fresh way to teach children their ABCs. For each letter, Gauthier has written a rhyme that couples a peculiar pairing with a comical drawing: a Dragon sitting forlornly in the dustpan, a Martian landing on a marshmallow, a Vacuum gobbling up vitamins. Colorful and imaginative illustrations add to the fun. The result is a giggle-inducing romp through the alphabet that adults and children will enjoy over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST ABC's BOOK EVER!!, December 13, 2006

I stumbled upon this book at a friend's house when her 4 year old was drawing pictures of turtles in tubs and kittens giving kisses, and I asked why in the world is she drawing such funny things!?! Her mother told me she was coming up with her own ABC pairing's, an idea she got from her favorite book "The A to Z Book". I laughed so hard, it was so creative, and rediculous...I loved it! I can see this book becoming a new favorite among children, one that they will remember for their children as adults.

I had so much fun, not only reading this book to the little one's in my life, but to myself! I'm amazed at the author's creativity and talent! The illustrations are bright, clear and perfect for the kids.

What's really cool about this book is that it's a great tool to teach kids their ABC's, but interesting and fun enough to encourage older siblings to participate as well.

It's a very fun family book! I highly recommend it!

I love this book. I laughed out loud and found myself reading this to my mate and we are in our 50's. I have a new item to give as a baby gift each time I need to buy a gift. The stories as well as the illustrations are just the greatest.
This will surely be the favorite book of many a young child for years to come. Even those children in their 50's.
Thanks Glenn for a wonderful book that will teach and entertain our children and grandchildren for years and years. Please keep up the good work. We need more books such as this to encourage reading in our youth.
GOOD JOB!
