B3327. Alphabet From A To Y / Martin & Chast
The Alphabet from A to Y With Bonus Letter Z! by Steve Martin and Roz Chast. 2007. 64pp. 10.25"x8.5". Hardcover $17.95
Steve Martin has supplied the rhyming and alliterative couplets. Roz Chast, whose cartoons frequently appear in The New Yorker, has provided the illustrative facing page. Will your child or grandchild understand everything in this book? No, but that does not mean they won't enjoy hearing it, again and again and again. And you may still enjoy reading it to them the tenth time. Your youngster may have plenty of questions - which is a good thing. "In varsity Victor was often victorious - sadly, his winning made him vainglorious." "Excellent Edward, exceedingly picky, ate eggs with an eel whose earwax was icky."
