About the Author
Woody Jackson lives in Addison County, Vermont—the land of milk and honey. He discovered art and cows at Middlebury College, from which he graduated in 1970. He created ties among the dairymen and -women there and has been creating bovine artwork ever since. He also received an MFA from the Yale School of Art and lived in New York City. Vermont is where his heart and art coexist. His cows grace the sides of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream trucks as well as many art collections.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-Jackson has created 26 beautiful watercolor paintings-one for each letter of the alphabet from alfalfa to zucchini. His flat stylistic designs capture the New England countryside in each season. The clear, vibrant colors of the backgrounds give contrast and balance to the black-and-white cows found in each illustration. The resulting patterns are a visual delight. Offset by a white border, each one has a single word beneath it. Most of the items representing the letters will be familiar to children-dog, garden, moon, and tractor. The few unfamiliar things like alfalfa and Xanadu will stimulate questions, explanation, and discussion. An alphabet book with a fresh, artistic approach.-Carolyn Janssen, Children's Learning Center of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH
