Follow the big red truck on it's cross-country journey in Donald Crew's classic wordless book, perfect for sharing with the very young.
Author Michael De Feo is a teacher and artist who achieved a certain amount of fame when his work was featured in The Art of Rebellion, the world's best-selling international survey of street art. But it was in his role as educator that De Feo came to the conclusion that the market was lacking in good art books for children and that's what inspired him to crate one himself. Alphabet City encourages both children and parents to pay attention to their everyday surroundings by placing De Feo's joyful images in the context of art in the streets. Witty and whimsical it is bound as a children's board and features high quality photographic reproductions throughout.
These heartwarming stories remind us how satisfying it is to grow up surrounded by love. "I Can Do It Too!" affirms a little girl's growing independence as she, too, can begin to do all the things she sees her parents, relatives and neighbors do: pouring juice at breakfast, strumming a guitar, and even riding a bike! In "You Can Do It Too!" she passes newly won skills and abilities to a younger brother, teaching him everything she thinks he needs to know. The simple cadence of text and direct-to-the-heart art result in two books as warm and generous as their message, providing reading pleasure for toddlers, older siblings, and the grown-ups who love them.
