review 1: As you'd anticipate, the art is striking. Most of it young children "get." Some if they don't. (For example, the aesthetic of "O is for owl," "P is for pig," "T is for turtle," and "Z is for zebra" can be a big confusing, especially for the youngest children who are still working to recognize reality, let alone its abstraction.) Similarly, while the book doesn't claim to be an ABC animal book, it seems to aim for that goal, tossing in other bits of nature as needed ("N is for nest," "U is for underwater," and "W is for web" (my favorite illustration of the book)). It's clear that the illustrations were drawn from Harper's estate, rather than an intention to create a children's ABC book. Even so, I really enjoy having Harper's art in the classroom and am happy it can e... morenter in this format.
review 2: Great book to help learn animals and letters. My only complaint is that they have animals for every letter except for letters U, W, and X. For you Charley said "U is for Underwater","W-is for web", and "X is for How many X's can you find?" I wish he stuck with animals and put "U- is for Urchin", "W-is for Walrus" and "X-is for X-ray fish."So that part of the book bugs me, but the illustrations of the book are great and I would still buy the book for my family. less
