Reviews
Kirkus Reviews
“Billing itself as ‘very silly’ isn’t an exaggeration for this zany alphabet book as it pairs letters with offbeat combinations like Elvis with evergreens and newts with necklaces. Written in a rhythmic rhyme that conjures the verse of Edward Lear, this text reads like a tongue twister. . . Bright, digital collage illustrations, which experiment with textual patterns and bold colors, can be seen from a distance and sync up well with the text. . . Playful and fun.”
--Kirkus
Publishers Weekly
“The pictures bubble with color and textures. . . there’s much busy, bright fun in these pages, and budding abecedarians should find plenty to charm them.”
—Publishers Weekly
School Library Journal
“This ambitious book provides colorful collages, hidden letters, word pictures, and alphabet sentences presented in rhyme while avoiding many of the pitfalls of the genre. By melding together nonsensical sentences that are as wacky as the illustrations, Cleary opens up the field to using verbs and adjectives as well as nouns.”
—School Library Journal
