The little guy loves consonance, Zippity Zounds he does. Really, any book that goes in the order of the alphabet--"is it cuz of that song?"--will very likely be one of A.'s favorites. I would write more but I'm also listening to an episode of "Locked up Abroad" right now on the National Geographic Channel and it's pretty distracting.

I like this alphabet fairly well -- although the entries from N to Q are increasingly ill-tempered, I can always blame that on the alligator not taking his nap at N. :) It's too long for B right now, but maybe when she's older. If I were picking an alphabet out at the store, I'd go with Dr. Seuss's.

I adore this book. I used to listen to a record (yes, record) of Carole King's musical adaptations of this and other Maurice Sendak books and I love, love, love them. Naturally this book takes me back to the days of records and not to mention Wonder Woman pajamas.

Love this book! If you enjoy a good ABC story and the art of Maurice Sendek how can you go wrong with this one! The alligators in the title are talso the actors bringing the alphabet to life.

This is a favorite in our house with my 2-year-old, as we also have the Really Rosie album by Carole King. She loves that there is a song that goes along with the book.

This is not your run-of-the-mill alphabet book.
