Alphabet of Alphabets

by AJ Wood and Mike Jolley

Allan Sanders (Illustrator)

Take a ride through 26 fully-illustrated alphabets, each one an A to Z of things to spot. This is an alphabet of alphabets, from an A to Z of Birds (A is for Albatross, B is for Bluebird), to an A to Z of Zoo (A is for Aardvark, B is for Baboon). Allan Sanders' weird and wonderful drawings are packed full of funny things to spot and plenty of Where's Wally-style humor, making this the best way to learn your ABCs and lots of new words as well!

Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.

An Alphabet of Alphabets is a cleverly imagined and beautifully rendered series of alphabet drawings. Due out 24th Nov 2020 from Quarto on their Wide-Eyed Editions imprint, it's 48 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats (ebook available now).

This is such an exuberant little book - bursting with colorful and intelligently playful illustrations. Each page is a letter of the alphabet, but all the pages are also alphabets themselves. The "A" page (see cover) is for arc, and all of the animals are arranged in silly poses and activities. It will provide hours of enjoyment and almost limitless scope for hunt-and-find and wordplay with the small humans in readers' lives.

This would be a superlative gift, excellent classroom or library group selection for activity groups, a wonderful parent/caregiver activity, or even for babysitters and child-minders looking to up their activity time with their small charges.

Five stars.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
