Out of the ordinary

There are a great deal of alphabet books out there. They tend to use certain standbys: "A is for apple," "B is for ball." I like this book because it has the ABCs in the context of a child's life. For example, "G is for grandma" and "V is for visit." I think "Y is for yellow boots" makes a lot more sense for a child than "Y is for yacht," which is what the "Baby ABC" book uses. The illustrations are evocative and beautiful. I highly recommend it.
