Synopsis

At last! John Burningham's lavish alphabet book is available in a board book edition that's just right for the youngest audience.  Bursting with vigorous color and robust forms that will capture kids' imaginations and help them to remember their ABC's, every spread is a feast for the eye and a springboard for the imagination. Each letter is accompanied by a dazzling illustration of a familiar object--from apple, birds, and clown to xylophone, yacht, and zoo. The corresponding word appears boldly in graphic type, along with the upper- and lowercase versions of the letter.
