Review:
Jean Marzollo and Walter Wick team up yet again for another perfect little I Spy picture book. In this one, kids who are just learning to read can practice their ABC's with Wick's special photo illustrations and Marzollo's clever alphabetical rhymes: "I spy an L wearing lacy white, and a metal M that's screwed on tight." Borrowing from some of their previous books (I Spy, I Spy School Days, and others), the author-illustrator team adds an original twist to the usual alphabet book, with each letter covered in its own letter-inspired design. P is plaid, E is a pink eraser, V is veiled with vines. Surrounding each letter are pictures of objects beginning with that letter (octopus, orange, ostrich). Young children will enjoy identifying the crisp, detailed pictures and reciting the bouncy rhymes. (Ages 2 to 5) --Emilie Coulter
