This whimsical exploration of letters and language begs to be read over and over again." "BookPage" "Handsome, humorous and clad in bright tomato-red, [this]is the sort of book you may want to rush into the arms of imaginative, good-natured 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 Goreyfor the preschool set and their hip parents." "The Washington Post""
