Riassunto

From Atticus, the altruistic astronaut, to Zooey, the zonked zombie, this book revamps the ABCs. C is for Cat? D is for dog? Not in this book! Here, Colossal Cornelius captures his companions with his camera and Daisy the diver dares a death-defying dip with dinosaurs. In Alphabetics, each of the alphabet's twenty-six letters is depicted with an awesome alliteration--not to mention an illuminating illustration--that will captivate and stimulate young minds. Although the lettered tales are meant to be humorous and fun, they also serve a commendable purpose. Complex words are introduced to expand children's vocabularies and linguistic horizons. The book includes a glossary so that readers can look up any terms that are unfamiliar to them.

Recensione:

The husband-and-wife team behind Concepción Studios, a graphic design company, team up with artist Ryski for a modish alphabet book that delights in sophisticated, alliterative language: Ezra the eccentric eskimo/ embarks on an expedition to Everest/ on his earmuff-wearing elephant, reads the E entry. Other subjects include Orson the omnipotent octopus/ of the open ocean and Uma the unpredictable unicorn/ underneath an ultraviolet umbrella. Grainy prints dominated by shades of mustard, saffron, and robin s egg blue lend a polished, offbeat aesthetic. A glossary offers definitions for many of the words, rounding out the tongue-twisting wordplay with a vocabulary lesson for budding logophiles. --Publishers Weekly
