Reviews

Like most pop-up books, this inventive animal abecedarian is a team effort, with text supplied by Green and clever images designed by Haines and Fröhlich, who also handled the paper engineering. On each spare, uncluttered spread, a short poem, a small color photo, and a creative paper construction introduce a different animal for each letter of the alphabet. With the exception of the C page, which joins two letters into a potentially confusing O, the letters are clearly presented, opening this to a broad audience of both new ABC learners and elementary students, who will appreciate the whimsical, action-filled verse and artistry in the images. Preschool-Grade 2. --Gillian Engberg
