Media Reviews
"Here's an alphabet book that's certainly worth making room for."
-- Kirkus
"Fleming's art is perfect for her young audience, combining the strong lines of the affable mouse and bold colors for various letters with her characteristically intriguing textures in handmade-paper collage and soft layers, which add visual interest and invite viewers to touch the pages. This is a solid and effective title for young abecedarians." -- Kate McDowell
-- Bulletin of the Center for Children\'s Books

Gardener's Alphabet
by Mary Azarian
Revealing the variety of life underground, the bright comfort of a greenhouse on a winter's day, or the anticipation of starting seeds indoors in early spring, this striking alphabet book celebrates the simple joys of gardening. Without neglecting the frustrations -- the nibbling critters and the toil -- or wry, humorous moments spent in the garden. Mary Azarian's spare words and lovely woodcuts capture the essence of turning a bare plot of ground into fragrant flowers and lush vegetables and trees. Her depictions of insects, manure, and compost piles are as delightful as her fountains, pumpkins, and Queen Anne's lace. Whether we are young or old, our gardens both exhaust and renew us. They are our source of magic and wonder and perhaps our best way to live closer to the land and to the rhythm of the seasons.

Alphabet Rescue
by Audrey Wood
Jumping aboard the fire truck and heading out to the scene, the little letters of the alphabet are there to lend a hand in the rescue, in a brightly illustrated alphabet adventure by the creators of Alphabet Mystery.
The Alphazeds
by Shirley Glaser
The Alphazeds begins with an empty room, which begins filling up with some extraordinary-looking letters. As each letter appears on the scene, it boldly announces its personality: A is angry all the time; B couldn't be more bashful; and K comes in kicking everyone else out of the way. Will the rambunctious letters ever be able to coexist long enough to work together? Charming and utterly original, The Alphazeds cleverly teaches the alphabet and new words to children, while also introducing them to the art of typography in a fresh and enjoyable way.
