This whimsical exploration of letters and language begs to be read over and over again.'BookPage'Handsome, humorous and clad in bright tomatored, [this] is the sort of book you may want to rush into the arms of imaginative, goodnatured children between 4 and 10 years old. [T]his is no traditional abecedarian exercise.The stories are wonderfully varied, sometimes philosophical and often end surprisingly; the drawings are just as quirky and unpredictable.'The Wall Street Journal'[W]itty from A to Z . . . no one would blame you for having a copy even if there are no kids in the house. Think of it as Edward Gorey for the preschool set and their hip parents.'The Washington Post
