5.0 out of 5 starsWhy isn't it in every library
By R, your friendly neighborhood reviewer on September 11, 2004
Format: Paperback
This book-one of my favs-was surprisingly hard to find. I can't understand why it wouldn't be in every library, because the ryhmes and illustrations are just great. Eichenberg uses his crayon-like illustrations to loosen the readers mind and not think of them too much. Because everyone who reads the book knows what the real winner in this book is; the text.

A-Ape in a cape

B-bear in despair

C-Carp with a harp

D-Dove in love

E-Egret in a minuet(children now may not know what minuet means)

F-Fox in a box

G-Goat in a boat

This is really a must read for anyone who's children have trouble with the alphabet.

5.0 out of 5 starsgood for teaching ESL
By Goggle-Eyed Slewfoot on February 4, 2003
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
On each page, the text follows the same grammatical pattern as the title.
This is an easy pattern for students of English as a second language to follow.

5.0 out of 5 starsInteresting read
By Gena R. Stack on April 8, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I love the use of unusual animals and scenarios. Stimulates children to think differently and not just in typical ways.

4.0 out of 5 starsQuite good for an alphabet book
By TA Mom on August 29, 2006
Format: Paperback
There are so many alphabet books out there but this one is charming. My kids like the rhymes and silliness. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the drawings are not as engaging as they could be.
