Ogres! ogres! ogres! : a feasting frenzy from A to Z

Nicolas Heller; illustrated by Jos A. Smith

A rollicking romp through the alphabet, with some spoofs of famous paintings and films.  The alliteration cleverly links to the next letter in the alphabet.

Pignic

Anne Miranda; illustrated by Rosekrans Hoffman

The pigs are gathering for their annual picnic - starting with Aunt Anne and her apple pie.

Reviewed by Annie.

 

Alphabet mystery

Audrey Wood; illustrated by Bruce Wood

When Little x disappears the rest of the letters search for him.  The illustrations are almost three-dimensional and leap off the page.
