5.0 out of 5 stars A is for Awesome, June 13, 2008
I loved this book! The illustrations of animals on each spread are graceful works of art. The delicate use of line, color and shape sometimes looks Japanese, sometimes like a collage made of construction paper. Others are loose pen-and-ink drawings.

You can tell the late Charley Harper loved animals, as his affection for them jumps off the page. There is so much personality! In D is for Dog, the smiling spaniel has dirt on his nose and legs, and you can almost see him panting. In I is for Iguana, two giant lizards battle for a captive tiny pig, swinging their tails and rearing up. Q is for Quail shows whirring wings on a fat and happy bird.

The inside covers show a collage of dozens of other Harper animals, most of which are not used in the book.

The board book itself is a little more sturdy than most. It will hold up well.

Charley Harper's ABC's is an outstanding way to introduce fine artwork to young children. Other good choices include Zen Ties and Walt Disney's Cinderella.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful board book, September 5, 2008
By Thomas Pine (Irvine, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a great sampling of Charley Harper's work and a great ABC board book for kids.

There is something interesting or cute in nearly every picture. Harper's unmistakable style makes the alphabet enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for anyone!, June 15, 2008
I've been keeping an eye on the release of this book and it was worth the wait!
This is a very fun book with a clever and funny mix of some of Charley Harper's most notable images. Each time you open the book, there is a classic picture that will make you want to go through the whole book.
Delightful for any age and an excellent gift for any Charley Harper fan.
