I misinterpreted the title...I thought it meant the abc's, you know, the basics, the facts....it was literal...there is an entry for each letter of the alphabet - very cool!
The information is great (one short paragraph per entry), the photographs amazing, and there is a glossary of terms in the back...who could ask for anything more?!

Good for an ABC book. Not at all too young!
