Nico's Alphabet Book is a colorful cornucopia of images that delight the eye and engage the imagination. Each double page panorama features a letter of the alphabet along with a montage of items all beginning with that same letter, artistically arranged in sometimes whimsical ways that will keep children and the adults who read to them entertained from page A to Z! Many items are simple enough for toddlers to identify, making this book enjoyable for even the youngest children. Other items featured are advanced enough to interest pre-school, kindergarten-age, and primary grade children. Some may even call for a peek at the list of key words provided at the end of the book, which easily becomes a game of seek-and-find that will captivate children of all ages, and their parents, too! Nico's Alphabet Book offers a learning discovery that is as lovely to look at as it is instructional. This book makes a valuable addition to any daycare story corner or classroom collection, and will easily become a cherished after-school or bedtime favorite!
With the number of decades lived now exceeding that which can be counted on one hand, Laura Lander finds that life continues to grow more engaging than ever before. After closing her massage therapy practice in Kentucky, she followed her life-long instinct of "belonging" in New England rather than in the Midwest, and made the leap of relocating to Maine. She enjoys writing and has rediscovered her passion for painting and illustrating. She spends days exploring the natural beauty around her, and welcomes the serendipity of meeting new friends. She also takes delight in her grandchildren and visits them as frequently as she can. Laura is the author/illustrator of six self-published books, including three children’s books. She is currently working on her next children’s book, with dreams of many more. Laura is also a voice artist and a practitioner of shamanic healing.
