Fun whimsical alphabet book for children

David Frampton's book, My Beastie Book of ABC is a colorful whimsical children's alphabet book in rhyme. Children will be attracted to the bright colors of the almost scary but just right beasties and critters. The book has a friendly feel and the large text is part of the art on each page. I love the whimsical style of the poems, though a few were a little too off the wall for me. I prefered the rhymes that taught a little something about the "beastie" on each page and/or used extra words beginning with the same letter as the beastie. Just the same, this book would thrill a young child who would probably want to hear it over and over.

A vivid, rhyming children's book

From A is for alligator to Z is for zebra, My Beastie Book Of ABC is a vivid, rhyming children's book that names a real creature for just about every letter of the alphabet (except for the letter X, which is assigned to an imaginary flying pup called a Xog). The bold, vivid, and slightly post-modern stylized artwork impress the words and images upon young beginning readers in this most enthusiastic alphabet book. Written and illustrated by David Frampton, My Beastie Book Of ABC is highly recommended for family, daycare, preschool, kindergarten, and community library collections.
