Not a traditional alphabet book, but nevertheless charming rhymes, beautiful pictures and lots and lots of interesting words to learn for kids. ( )

Alphabet books are for all ages! If you do a survey of them at the library (or at a
book group which we did last year) you'll find a wide range of them appealing to the very young to adults. You're never too old to enjoy an alphabet book. That said this is not a book for the very very young this would be more appropriate and appealing to a young child who had a fairly strong understanding of the alphabet and can understand the humor of the "isn't" and be able to pick out the creature that belongs to the letter. My son H is only 21 months but he has strong letter recognition, knows letter sounds and many examples of animals and things that start with each letter. He loved this book and thought it was super fun. His favorite was the woodpecker with the banged up beak. The rhyming is cute and the illustrations are well done. Oh and he loves the word Xenops... Which might seem obscure to some but is a very common choice for alphabet books.
