Wonderful Book For Children and Adults and not just for X-mas

I was skeptical when my mother gave this book to my 13 month old daughter because it was intended for an older audience, but this soon became one of her favorites. The A is for ... , B is for ... is written in a clever rhyme/poem that my daughter loves to hear. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful. The textures and patterns remind me of Edouard Vuillard. And they are packed with details that a young child loves to see--a small cat in the snow, children holding dolls and books, people wearing hats. Reading alphabet books can frankly be a bit tedius for parents, but not this one--I'm happy to read it several times a day because my daughter requests it all the time.
