5.0 out of 5 stars good for teaching ESL, February 4, 2003
By Robertson Thomas (Hapcheon, Gyeongnam, South Korea) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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 stars Why isn't it in every library, September 11, 2004
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite good for an alphabet book
There are so many alphabet books out there but this one is charming. My kids like the rhymes and silliness. Read more
