AlphaBasiCs is just what it appears to be. . . a series of alphabet books based on those subjects which interest young children. Such books encourage kids to let their imaginations soar. . . and to design their own alphabet books -- Brandon Sun, Dec. 28, 1997

One of the best books for children on musical instruments I've seen -- K. Dalby, Roberts Park School, Norfolk, Virginia
