Reviews

“Calmenson once again shows her ability to connect with kids in this buoyant alphabet-cum-riddle book … the text’s basic vocabulary, bouncy rhythm and brief sentences are well suited to beginning readers.” – Publishers Weekly.

“A clever new alphabet book in riddle form …” – Booklist.

 

“a sure-to-be-successful experience… More interactive – and therefore more fun – than the usual “A is for apple” alphabet.” –Kirkus.

“…the child appeal of a riddle book combined with the practicality of an alphabet book … Preschoolers will delight in responding to “What is it?” – School Library Journal.
