Review:
"The Sweet and Sour Animal Book, an alphabet book written in verse, was...found among the author's papers after his death. The addition of color photographs of three-dimensional artwork by Harlem School of the Arts first to third graders gives this title a contemporary and accessible flavor for today's youthful readers."--Library Lane
"From Ape to Zebra, the short poems reflect Hughes's childlike wonder as well as his sense of humor."--The New York Times Book Review
"Harlem Renaissance poet Hughes and young Harlem artists together create a fun, provocative, and visually exciting abecedary."--Kirkus Reviews
"The cover is gorgeous, and the book design displays the humor, fantasy, and brilliant color of the kids' work."--Booklist
"Children...will need no help in responding to the book's creative spirit. An inspired artistic collaboration."--School Library Journal
"A droll and dapper menagerie, celebrating in verse one cresture for each letter of the alphabet.... An enchanting edition.... Will delight children and endure as a unique tribute to Hughes, a man not only noted for his genius but beloved for his humor and his humanity."--Smithsonian
"A treasure of long-lost poems written by Langston Hughes in 1936."--Teaching Tolerance
"A marvelous union of graphics and text, alight with color and whimsy.... Laugh-out-loud wonderful."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
