This is one of the most interesting alphabet books I've seen. The illustrations by Lynn Tsan are eye catching and amazing.
Mr. Liptak and Smith Publicity sent me a copy of this book for review (thank you). It has been published, so check with your local bookstore for a copy.
The book comes in a slipcase, which is a nice touch. I find this is almost more of an art book than a way to learn the alphabet. If you have a child that appreciates art, I'm sure this book will catch their eye.
The illustrations are bright, some are teases that teach you how to "see" the letters lost in a forest of colors, and none of them are boring. Here's a video of the presentation: Illustrations Example This is pretty fast and somewhat lengthy, so don't feel you need to watch it all. It gives you a taste of the artwork.
Mr. Lipton uses alliterative poetry to talk about each letter. The poems are good and they make you look at the alphabet in a new way.
This book could easily be a collectible. Why not get a copy and visit these colorful pages yourself? This is not a book you will forget.
Happy reading.
