From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3 An alphabet book that is imaginative, original, and bound to strike a creative note in children. Boldly colored upper- and lower-case letters appear at the top left of every page. Below them, each boxed animated letter jumps, dances, or gently sways to become a part of an object or a scene on the facing page, with one-word labels. MacDonald's A tilts, flops over, and literally becomes an ark as it turns itself around. An N turns over, glides up a tree trunk, and becomes a nest for three young birds. Crisp, fresh, and totally effective, it's a unique way of looking at the alphabet. This is a book to encourage creative thinking and for sheer enjoyment of MacDonald's precise graphics, rather than for object identification among the very young. A visual delight. Trev Jones, "School Library Journal"
